Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dean Sherman shows that spiritual warfare is the normal calling and daily challenge of the whole church, not just the specialized business of a spiritual elite. If we are to wakl as Jesus walked, it is imperative that every one of us understands the biblical basis for spiritual warfare. In twelve hard-hitting and practical chapters, Dean has given us just that." --Dr. Carl and Betsy Armerding, Regent College

"Dean Sherman provides the would-be warrior with a wealth of warfare expertise that I'm convinced will help equip a host of concerned believers for far greater effectiveness in fighting a war upon which hangs the destiny of nations." --Dick Eastman, President, Every Home for Christ

"Dean Sherman is a powerful communicator with an explosive subject that is relevant to our day and dynamically presented in a book that cannot be passed by. I've know Dean for more than twenty years. His character and his life as a man of God have made an impact on every continent." --Loren Cunningham, Founder, Youth With A Mission

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritual Warfare for Every Christian (Literally), February 14, 2001

By 

Nolan Habegger (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spiritual Warfare for Every Christian: How to Live in Victory and Retake the Land (From Dean Sherman) (Paperback)

Spiritual warfare is an often misundertood subject. The concept of humans doing battle with the forces of darkness conjures up bizarre mental images of exorcisms and demon possession; popular subjects in today's horror movie genre. In Christian circles, authors often approach this topic with either excessive zeal or great timidity. In these cases, spiritual warfare is either about yelling at demons or being nice to people. Either extreme repels most believers from adequately addressing this important subject.

In this balanced and insightful book, Dean Sherman demonstrates why every Christian should concern themselves with spiritual warfare. From the battles of the mind and the heart to the direct confrontation of evil, Sherman walks the reader through the process of defending themselves against the influences of spiritual wickedness. Using applicable Scripture verses and plain English, he lays out a plan for establishing a lifestyle of gentle but absolute contrast to the spirit of the age.

This book is a "required item" for the library of every Christian. Buy two copies. Once you read it, you will need a copy to give away.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most balanced book I've read - and I've read many!, April 9, 1999

This review is from: Spiritual Warfare for Every Christian: How to Live in Victory and Retake the Land (From Dean Sherman) (Paperback)

This book was the first book on spiritual warfare I ever read. I had read many, many since. I have read it all from one extreme to the other. This book is very balanced. It changed my life becuase it teaches that the battle ground of spiritual warfare is the mind and how to wind there FIRST, and then proceed on to other areas of victory. I am buying this book again because I loaned out my original and never could get it back. I highly recommend this book for beginners or seasoned warriors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great methods for determining origin of spirits, April 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Spiritual Warfare for Every Christian: How to Live in Victory and Retake the Land (From Dean Sherman) (Paperback)

This book has really helped me understand when I am under spiritual attack and what to do about it. For example, when I hear the voices of spirits speak to me, I wonder if it is a message from God or if it is the Devil tempting me. Now, I am usually able to tell the difference!
