Evangelical-Friendly Approach to Spiritual
Warfare
Respected scholar and speaker Larry Richards offers a balanced,
evangelical-friendly approach to spiritual warfare based on the
book of Ephesians. Unique among books on warfare and deliverance,
this easy-to-follow handbook draws riches from the Bible, while
also offering tactical guidance for conquering the demons of fear
and doubt that assail believers.
Framing his teaching on Paul's armor of God passage in Ephesians 6,
Richards uncovers strategies of Satan and analyzes the armor piece
by piece to reveal how God provides protection from every attack of
the enemy. Hands-on exercises at the end of each section, plus
in-depth, analytical appendixes, help readers identify and stand
against powers of evil--and experience true freedom.
Stand Firm Against the Devil's Schemes
Whether you are aware of it or not, every Christian is locked in a
struggle with the spiritual forces of this dark world. If our
defenses are weak--or nonexistent--these enemies can, and will,
slowly, subtly, lead you away from a life of righteousness.
In this tactical guide, bestselling author and trusted theologian
Larry Richards offers an ironclad defense plan straight from the
Bible. Using Paul's letter to the Ephesians as his infallible
guide, Richards reveals how God provides protection from every
attack of the enemy--and how you can put on the full armor of God
today and every day.
Including practical, hands-on exercises, this is the essential
biblical approach to standing your ground against the enemy's
ploys.
