In Victory over the Darkness, Neil Anderson provides a guide for healing of past wounds and for experiencing future victory. In Victory over the Darkness Dr. Anderson doesn't suggest change through behavior modification or external rules and regulation. Instead he gets to the issue of living according to our identity in Christ. His sections on healing past wounds and how to continue on the journey of spiritual maturity were very good. I appreciate that this book on emotional health was based on theology and not psychology. I believe it is a good, practical tool for the pastor and for the Christian mental health professional. While the book was strong in emphasizing our new identity in Christ, I felt it was weak in exposing the depravity of self. I've found that until a person abandons all hope in the self-life they will have difficulty rejecting it for their new life in Christ. This book would be a good book to read in tandem with Christ-Esteem by Don Matzat. I see them as being an effective balance for each other.

Anderson writes very plainly and passionately who we as Christians are in Christ Jesus. In order to have "Victory Over the Darkness", we NEED to know who we are in Christ. I like the fact that Anderson doesn't proof-text Scripture, coming up with his own ideas of what the Bible says, but rather spends a significant portion of several chapters listing specific Scriptures that clearly identify our wonderful identity in Christ.

A very worthwhile book.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who may be suffering from spiritual opression. The book outlines the easy steps to victory over the enemy of our souls. In Christ, you are more than a conqueror. I have given away copies of this book to my friends. I highly recommend this book and "The Bondage Breaker" also written by Neil Anderson. Break free today from the lies of the enemy by understanding who you are in Christ Jesus. You'll be amazed and blessed when you learn the THRUTH about God's goodness. May the lord bless you.

It's amazing how little we know about who we are in Christ. I had no idea that I was already FREE from sin until I read this engaging and informative presentation of how to lead a victorious Christian life. I purchased the book for all my leaders, and they were changed by the discovery that the battle with sin has already been won! We need only reinforce the victory Christ gave us on the cross. I highly recommend this book.

I have read Neil's book, Victory over the Darkness , at least half a dozen times. I don't always read it the whole way through but concentrate on the parts which give me the most help. It is a book that I often give to friends as a gift of love or sometimes as a means of helping them find a way to help themselves. I like the charts Neil has included. They are easy to understand and can explain a concept in a moment. Most of all I like his lists of... Who I am in Christ.

This book is a must for anyone looking to others to find their own identity. The author lays the ground work for looking to Christ alone and than presents actual examples he has expereinced. This book has helped me to better understand Jesus Christ in me and me in Him. I couldn't put the book down.

If you have heard voices in your head or wonder why you feel so bad about things that happened so long ago than this is the book for you. Mr Anderson takes you through the problems that he has found in many people and let us see how they freed themselves from the bondage of sin.

Neil Anderson has done fantasitic job of takeing the scriptures and putting them in a easy progressive text book of the battle for your mind. If you are looking from relief from personal failures in your life, from addiction to porn to chooseing the right friends, from handling your anger to low self esteem this is the next step you have to take. I also reccommend the work book!

This book was given to me by a friend that thought I could use it. And use it I did, this book is so encouraging and life altering that I'm now ready to move forward into a more mature experience with Christ. Thank God for Mr.Anderson.

Came in fast, only complaint was book was suppose to be new, but I saw a few highlighter marks in it already... but for the price, I really don't mind at all.
