4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting, biblically sound (for the most part) book, November 6, 1999

This review is from: The Believer's Guide to Spiritual Warfare (Paperback)

This is the best book on spiritual warfare that I've read so far. I'm not sure that I agree with him that demons can temporarily possess a Christian. But I was otherwise impressed with how strong White is in the Word. I recommend this book. And it's very affordable, too.

This review is from: The Believer's Guide to Spiritual Warfare: Wising Up to Satan's Influence in Your World (Paperback)

This book by Thomas B. White is so superbly written that any lay person can read it, understand it, and apply it to their life. I am so thankful for the information contained in this book, about how the battles we face every day are caused by outside spiritual forces for Christians and unbelievers everywhere. Yet Thomas White does not go overboard in describing the hardships we face, by attributing EVERY attack to demonic forces. He carefully outlines when it could be from other sources and encourages the reader to find someone versed in dealing with Spiritual Warfare and get help in dealing with the "heavy duty" stuff, i.e. spiritual oppression that could have been brought on by curiosity in occult activity. This opens the door into the believer's life (or unbelievers, too)and invites trouble.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not about demons, It's about everyday life., September 19, 2002

This review is from: The Believer's Guide to Spiritual Warfare (Paperback)

This is a practical guide to prayer and spoken resistance. Mr. White is not quick to call everything demon influenced. He understands what illnesses can produce. He also has a good grip on what demons can do. He is very balanced.

Believers who find themselves in the midst of troubling circumstances definitely need the kind of guidance found in this book. Buy it for yourself. Read it. Then determine its usefulness for others.
