5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book to Read to Prepare for War against the Enemy, October 14, 1999

By 

Phyllis Newkirk ([e-mail]) (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Battle Is the Lord's: Waging Victorious Spiritual Warfare (Hardcover)

This is a "must read" for every genuine Christian because we are truly caught in the middle of the battlefield of a spiritual war. Tony Evans gives us encouraging insight into our position in this war. To learn that we are not fighting for victory, but from a position of victory changed my entire perspective toward the enemy and eliminated the fear and loneliness of spiritual battles. To know that we are not in the battle alone, that there is a "third person" in the battle with us, erased all thoughts of defeat and exposed Satan for the deceiver that he is. Tony Evans goes into great depth to explain two major principles: that Jesus Christ has already won the victory and has given it to us by virture of our postion IN CHRIST.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will bless your life, May 7, 2000

By 

Andrea (Indiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Battle Is the Lord's: Waging Victorious Spiritual Warfare (Hardcover)

For those who reviewed this book before me stating that if God is all-powerful and loving there could be no spiritual warfare: spiritual warfare is real because God gives us free will. We must choose our ways and who we will serve. He will not "force" Himself and His will on us. And with all due respect, such comments indicate no Bible knowledge and I doubt some of these reviewers even read the book... This book lines up perfectly with the Word of God and will really make a positive difference in your life. The events in the invisible, spiritual realm control what happens in the visible/natural realm. If you don't believe in or don't understand spiritual warfare, you are already a casualty of this very real war.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most sound books on spiritual warfare! - Amen, July 6, 2006

This review is from: The Battle is the Lords (Understanding God Series) (Paperback)

I am an avid reader of Christian literature and found this book to be the most exciting and stimulating in further understanding of spiritual warfare! In fact the whole book read like one sermon after another exposing you to an easier yet greater understanding to spiritual warfare, while providing a strong yet simple commentary on early Genesis. Dr. Evans uses lots of symbolism that would help anyone who is lacking knowledge on spiritual warfare to understand it and better serve Christ through it; thus making this book a must have for all. Of course it is sad that some have attacked this book as they are spiritually ignorant and carnal to the truth of Christ as they will attack anything that does not conform to their view of worldly christianity; please pray for them! Dr. Tony Evans has never steered me wrong through his books nor his sermons as I carefully study every author and preacher I encounter (of course the man is not perfect).
