Publisher's Summary: Too often, Christians today either sensationalize the subject of spiritual warfare by obsessing over demon possession, exorcisms, binding the devil, and rebuking demons or they minimize the idea and are unprepared for the real struggle they face against principalities and powers. Pastors Brian Borgman and Rob Ventura provide a balanced approach that exposes the fictions and superstitions surrounding this vital doctrine and at the same time reveal the unseen realities of this struggle. Basing their battle plan on Ephesians 6:10-20, the authors give an overview of the battle, a guide to the armor God gives us, and instruction regarding the vital wartime disciplines of prayer and proclamation of the word. By learning to think biblically about this subject, Christians are enabled to deflect the blows of their adversary, fight sin, and live God-glorifying lives as followers of Jesus.

Members Reviews: A faithful, accessible, and powerful exposition of Ephesians 6:10-20 Many Christians are satisfied living in defeat. They know of the victory found in Christ but for some reason think it is beyond their grasp and beyond Godâs power to actually experience it. And so, they continue to struggle with sin, temptations, discouragement, and a lack of power in their spiritual lives, unaware that they are fully able to make things change with Godâs help. How can these Christians bridge the gap between defeat and victory in their lives? Knowing and using the spiritual resources and weapons available is how defeated Christians can gain victory. Paul describes believersâ spiritual weapons and armor in Ephesians 6:10-20, which is the âfull armor of Godâ passage. Spiritual Warfare: A Biblical and Balanced Perspective unpacks and applies Paulâs words in Ephesians 6, seeking to avoid both extremes of spiritual warfare talk (denying the reality of the enemy or âseeing a demon behind every bushâ). Thirteen 7 or 8 page chapters walk through Ephesians 6:10-20 and make it a quick and powerful read. This is by no means the first book to seek to clearly explain and apply this passage, but the expositional format helpfully discusses the topic of spiritual warfare, which is one often littered with extra-biblical applications/tactics or a flat-out denial of Scriptural truth. This book keeps its focus on Scripture, avoiding the temptations to head down rabbit trails or shift the focus to personal experience, jokes, or anecdotes. Personal stories, jokes and anecdotes are not the same as a commander preparing a troop for war with the marching orders of the commander. Borgman and Ventura prepare readers for warfare mentality by unpacking the marching orders given to Christians by God in Ephesians 6. The book wonât win any awards for new ideas or elegant prose (although it is well-written), but it will clearly explain the Word of God to readersâwhich is ultimately what will equip them for battle and help them gain the victory that is theirs in Christ.
