From the Back Cover

An exploration of the great conflict going on between good and evil within the spiritual realm, Dr. Barnhouse carefully traces this vast spiritual conflict back to the period before the beginning of recorded time. Step by step, he then follows its unfolding to the final battle at the end of time. Here are answers to questions that have long troubled thinking people--concerning the trials, sufferings, and difficulties of life--with added helpful suggestions for facing life's obstacles. Dr. Herbert Henry Ehrenstein says, "I am certain that this book will take its place as one of the greatest Dr. Barnhouse wrote during his lifetime, unfolding as it does an entirely new area of biblical truth for many readers who have never before contemplated this invisible battle involving God, Satan, angels, demons, and mankind. Indeed, I know of no other available book of so complex a subject."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Unique Treatise in a Time of Biblical Confusion, September 7, 2000

By	Brad Doskocil (Long Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The Invisible War is a wonderful text about the conflict between God and Satan. It answers from clear consise statements from the Bible why mankind exists. It also examines mankind's relationship to the angelic creation. Consequently, the book also examines thoroughly what the Bible says about creation of the universe, earth, life on earth, and His restoration after imposing judgment on fallen angels. It is a unique book in its coverage of topics too often ignored or brushed over in today's church environment. It is a valuable refernce in my library and should be to yours.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Look Into Things Previously Unknown, December 6, 2003

By	Kenneth R. Kingsley "jn3-16" (Lewisville, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I only thought that I was comfortable with my knowledge of the creation account until I read this book and found out how little I knew about the spiritual warfare between the God who dwells in unapproachable light and the prince of darkness.
If you want to read a fictional story mixed with some Biblical truth than this book is NOT for you since it is filled with Biblical truth and insight with very little hypothetical information. This book is a real jewel in these times of so-called Bible Teachers who mainly weave tales.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on Spiritual Warfare, January 23, 2001

By	K. Restoule - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book by Dr. Barnhouse is one of the best I've read on Spiritual Warfare. He covers a broad range of topics including Creation, the Fall of Man, Angels and Demons, our struggle with sin and the eternal state. This is an easy read for any level of Christian. It's quite understandable for a new believer yet still informative to a Seminary graduate.

I give it my highest recommendation.
