Spiritual Warfare - Unmasked
We need this book! In a world that is overly influenced by psychology - this book offers a spiritual dimension for understandings our struggles, worries and temptations. Spiritual warfare is alive and kicking in the U S of A - and most of us haven't got a clue. In a culture ruled by Oprah and Dr. Phil, we have lost sight of our original nature - which is to sin. This is our greatest weakness and makes us vulnerable to attack.
Randy Alcorn has done a great job of developing the characters in this book to resemble four different personality types. He presents the issues and struggles they have individually, how they are handling these struggles and where they are spiritually. He alternates the telling of their personal stories with the correspondence between the demons put in charge of corrupting the youths. In doing so, we get a behind the scenes view of how the demons efforts directly impact, influence and shape the decisions each of the teens make.
Many of us forget, on a daily basis, that we are at battle - a spiritual battle. The thoughts, feelings and doubts you experience daily are not yours alone. The decision's you make are not yours alone. The Ishbane Conspiracy reminds us that there is a battle for your heart, mind and soul. It reveals the dimension we often forget in our daily living - the spiritual battle occurring between good and evil for your eternal soul. If you are ignorant of this fact, if you believe that you are in control, that you have all the power - you are in trouble.
Everyday we must put our battle armor on - through prayer and studying the Word.
