5.0 out of 5 stars Countering Satan's Work Against the Church in Today's World, January 27, 1999
By A Customer
The Handbook For Spiritual Warfare by Dr. Ed Murphy addresses an area critically missing from the teaching of most mainline theological denominations. Over the centuries since our Lord completed His redeeming work here on earth, the Church seems to have lost sight of the almost invisible raging spiritual battles that our Lord clearly dealt with during His brief physical time on earth. The resulting carnage of evil influence is all around us in drugs, weapons, and crushed lives. The apostle Paul found it necessary to spend much time tutoring and strengthening his fledgling churches on exactly what was happening and how our enemy literally attacks God's work. Likewise, Dr. Murphy methodically traces the teachings on spiritual warfare from Genesis to Revelation. His work is dramatically illustrated with his global experiences of power encounters with enemy spiritual forces. The church today definitely needs to re-awake to the battle around us and become aware of the enemy's great power and tactics. This book brings good balance to the topic. Unlike some who consider deliverance a single event, Dr. Murphy shows the need for a more encompassing approach. His 45-10-45 time rule explains that the actually deliverance comprises only 10% of the time needed to successfully deliver the oppressed from the bondage of Satan's minions. He encourages that 45% of the time is needed for pre-deliverance (preparation of the counselee to understand what is happening in their lives and the need to seek deliverance) and 45% in post deliverance counseling to assure that they can continue to succeed in being free and avoid a return to worse demonization (Matthew 12:43-45). The book does a great job in showing Christians the need to root out the "sin handles" in our own lives that enable Satan and his demons to get a foothold. We seem to have little idea how bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, and other reactionary sins can compromise our life and witness. The newly added chapter on the "Dangers and Pitfalls of Spiritual Warfare" is outstanding in helping us keep everything in perspective and avoid excessives. Overall this large book is well worth the effort to get grounded in an essential area needed to spiritually survive and succeed in today's world. The battle is growing larger everyday and we need to prepare for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a light topic and not a light read..., June 8, 2000
By Caz (Kitchener, Canada) - See all my reviews
If you're looking for some solid teaching/understanding about the issues of demons, demonic oppression and possession, and deliverance then this tome is one of the best buys you could make. I've had this book in my library for years (bought it when it first came out and have the hardcover edition) and have read it front to back several times over.

Dr. Murphy has put together a strong, informative, and biblical presentation. As noted in an eariler review, this is not a light read. There's no way a topic such as this could be a light read! The book tackles such topics as 'oppression vs. possession,' ritual abuse, multiple personality disorders, and various other difficult and confusing issues. He clearly details what demonic influence is like and how it acts and then takes the reader into the Word to show them the tools of their spiritual warfare and how to use them effectively.

As a theology student who has completed a course on spiritual warfare for my studies, this book was invaluable in study and essay-writing. As a believer who wants to be informed and rightly wielding the Sword of Truth, this book is a necessary and valued part of my library.

'Tis good to see the book in paperback edition now, making it more affordable for a wider reading audience.

Spiritual warfare, by definition, can be a scary issue for many, but with Dr. Murphy's concise and clear teachings and explanations the veil of confusion is lifted and 'solid ground' is found by the reader. Can't recommend this title highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding and Comprehensive!, September 22, 1998
This book makes a great followup to Bob Larson's book "In The Name of Satan"! Dr. Murphy has written a comprehensive and inclusive book on spiritual warfare. He backs himself well with Bible scripture. One warning: this is not casual reading as the book is somewhat encyclopedic. However, it has proven excellent in deepening my understanding of spiritual warfare, and Satan's tactics and strategies! Highly recommended reading.
