"Dean Sherman is a powerful communicator with an explosive subject that is relevant to our day and dynamically presented in a book that cannot be passed by. I've know Dean for more than twenty years. His character and his life as a man of God have made an impact on every continent." --Loren Cunningham, Founder, Youth With A Mission

"Dean Sherman provides the would-be warrior with a wealth of warfare expertise that I'm convinced will help equip a host of concerned believers for far greater effectiveness in fighting a war upon which hangs the destiny of nations." --Dick Eastman, President, Every Home for Christ

"Dean Sherman shows that spiritual warfare is the normal calling and daily challenge of the whole church, not just the specialized business of a spiritual elite. If we are to wakl as Jesus walked, it is imperative that every one of us understands the biblical basis for spiritual warfare. In twelve hard-hitting and practical chapters, Dean has given us just that." --Dr. Carl and Betsy Armerding, Regent College

Spiritual Warfare for Every Christian (Literally)
Spiritual warfare is an often misundertood subject. The concept of humans doing battle with the forces of darkness conjures up bizarre mental images of exorcisms and demon possession; popular subjects in today's horror movie genre. In Christian circles, authors often approach this topic with either excessive zeal or great timidity. In these cases, spiritual warfare is either about yelling at demons or being nice to people. Either extreme repels most believers from adequately addressing this important subject.

In this balanced and insightful book, Dean Sherman demonstrates why every Christian should concern themselves with spiritual warfare. From the battles of the mind and the heart to the direct confrontation of evil, Sherman walks the reader through the process of defending themselves against the influences of spiritual wickedness. Using applicable Scripture verses and plain English, he lays out a plan for establishing a lifestyle of gentle but absolute contrast to the spirit of the age.

This book is a "required item" for the library of every Christian. Buy two copies. Once you read it, you will need a copy to give away.

The most balanced book I've read - and I've read many!
This book was the first book on spiritual warfare I ever read. I had read many, many since. I have read it all from one extreme to the other. This book is very balanced. It changed my life becuase it teaches that the battle ground of spiritual warfare is the mind and how to wind there FIRST, and then proceed on to other areas of victory. I am buying this book again because I loaned out my original and never could get it back. I highly recommend this book for beginners or seasoned warriors.

One of the most important books you will ever read!
This book will change your life. I know that seems trite and overused, but it is true. Not only is it practical and logical, but it is firmly rooted in excellent Biblical teaching. It encourages Christians to pull their heads out of the sand and get into the battle. It is balanced in its treatment and asks us to get serious about out calling, while being practical about telling us what that is and how to go about it. One thing I loved was its treatment of the battle within. Dealing with our own hearts and minds is the first step. You have to learn what gates are and how to shut them. No more fear of the Devil or seeing a demon behind every bush. Equip yourself! If you ever have a chance to watch the video teaching series on this topic by Dean Sherman, I highly recommend that as well.
