Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"Not since C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters have we had as convincing a presentation... Highly recommended!" --Dr. Ben Witherington, III

This highly readable--and useful--examination of Satan and spiritual warfare was written out of necessity. In recent years, pastor and teacher Dennis McCallum found himself fielding more and more questions about Satan. He wanted to recommend a book on the subject, but those he found either reflected extreme beliefs, contained little biblical instruction, used fear tactics, or were poorly written.

In Satan and His Kingdom, McCallum clarifies what is true and what is false about Satan, demons, and demonic control--all biblically backed.

Learn biblical answers to key questions:

* How can you battle the enemy while keeping your focus on Christ, not Satan?
* How did God's plan anticipate Satan's moves?
* What do Christians have most to fear from Satan?
* Why did Satan help to kill Jesus?
* What are Satan's plans for you and your church?

"We have long needed a lucid, biblically sound presentation of spiritual warfare and the satanic kingdom. This is it, and it is both readable and deep. Everyone should read it." --Grant R. Osborne, PhD, Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

A reliable resource for pastors, lay leaders, and any Christian wanting to know more about evil in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, great read!, June 12, 2009

By	M. Hickman-Romine - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My husband bought this book, and while preparing to teach on Ephesians 6, I started to read it and finished it in two days. It was highly readable, super-informative, and had a very balanced and well-researched view. I loved learning the information presented in this book, and consider it vital to holding a well-informed theological view of the powers of darkness and a Christian's proper response to the activities of the Enemy. I hope anyone considering this book will buy and read it, and when my husband finishes the book, we have already promised to lend it to a few of our friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on Satan I've ever read!, June 11, 2009

By	Christopher P. Hearty II - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've read The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, Satan: His Motives & Methods by Lewis Sperry Chafer and countless other articles, essays and excerpts, yet this book takes the cake! In all areas Satan can affect the physical and spiritual world McCallum covers with brilliant wisdom and Biblical fortitude. There is no shortage of literature on Satan, however there is an incredible shortage of Bible-based information. In the same way no other book on the subject covers practical example for the individual and the church that can be directed back to scripture as the authority like this one. I started the book for the first time and didn't put it down until I was half way through. The only reason I stopped was because I had to go to work, otherwise I would have finished the entire book. Although I plan now to go back and reread at a slower pace and take notes on each chapter,...it's that good! This book comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, a must read for any spiritually minded person!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Facing Spiritual Realities, June 11, 2009

By	Catherine A. Downs - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dennis McCallum's book on Satan is a much needed book to explain some of the many difficulties Christians have in understanding how to walk with God. We do have an enemy and many times it is easy to forget that. Also, many of us are plagued by negative thinking which destroys our peace of mind and having joy in everyday life with God and others. I highly recommend this book as a reality check about the struggles we face. Every good fighter studies their enemy. This book is an escellent study in the strategies of Satan, as well as how to live well in the everyday battle.
