5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best balanced view of spiritual warfare., November 22, 1998

By	kecole@ibm.net (Philippines) - See all my reviews

Powlison struck a response cord. With so much out there in the religious book market about demons, Satan, angels, etc., this book put it all together. The author's analysis of "power" miracles in the Bible was refreshing and insightful. I've recommended this to several of my colleagues in thelogy.

4.0 out of 5 stars a much-needed balanced discourse on spiritual warfare, August 23, 1998

By	Jeff Mammen (jmammen1@aol.com) (South San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

One who sincerely desires to know how to approach the evidence of demonic activity in the world, need not have to attend every spiritual warfare conference and strategy session available. In the context of God's Word, the author takes the reader through the questions and issues that can cause the Christian to often throw his hands in the air. The author's genuine look at Satan's strategy leaves the reader with hope in how we can stand in Christ. While it's not a biased polemic defense and is not exhaustive in its coverage, it does speak of dramatic events occuring around the world in light of truth. The book shows God's powerful and loving perspective when it comes to standing against all the enemy's attacks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, November 8, 1999

By	Neal Stublen (Newark, DE USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Powlison gives a very strong argument for why modern "demon-deliverance" ministries miss the mark. If you are involved in such ministry, you need to read this book - it will at the very least challenge some of your beliefs and practices (it did for me).
