"My personal struggle against the forces of evil began in my first days as a believer but intensified as I served overseas where Satan did not want to let go of those we came to reach for Christ. Then, hundreds of missionaries told us that spiritual warfare was the one area they felt least prepared to face. Now I am working with American seminary students, and many confess they have little preparation for facing personal attacks by that same enemy. Victory over the Enemy is an excellent resource for understanding this spiritual struggle and how we can live victoriously in Christ!" --Don Dent, professor of missions, Gateway Seminary "Having read numerous book endorsements over the years, I have a certain distaste for the timeworn statement, 'If you can read only one book about [name the subject], this is the one you should choose.' Still, I am convinced that Victory over the Enemy is just such a book. Scriptural, practical, and desperately needed, this is the primer you should read alongside your Bible. You'll never again see the world, the flesh, and the devil through the same eyes. And, by God's grace you will begin walking in victory.
" --Tom Elliff, president emeritus, International Mission Board "Victory over the Enemy reminds Christians that we are in a daily battle against this world, our flesh, and Satan. This book gives the reader the tools to both understand and recognize our enemy as well as stand against him. But the gem of this book is its faithfulness to the Scriptures and the emphasis on our union with Christ, the indwelling presence and power of the Holy Spirit, and our growth toward Christlikeness. It is my personal hope that this book will propel readers to have a new or renewed longing for the Word of God." --Lesley Hildreth, women's discipleship director of The Summit Church, Durham, North Carolina "Chuck Lawless and Bill Cook have written an incredible study and a valuable tool that will help believers understand how God equips and empowers us to overcome the enemy. This practical book is rich in biblical content and thorough in explanation, and it teaches us how the enemy attacks, how God provides for his people, and how we, in God's power, fight the enemy on a daily basis." --Jaye Martin, Jaye Martin Ministries "Drs. Chuck Lawless and Bill Cook have done the church a great service.
Lawless and Cook equip us to face the battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil because our Lord has already won the victory. So, read alongside others and invite them to fight sin and Satan with God's Word, by faith, and in reliance on the Holy Spirit." --Juan R. Sanchez, senior pastor, High Pointe Baptist Church, Austin, Texas "We are in a spiritual war, and we are in trouble, not because the enemy is so powerful, but because we either ignore or have never heard that God has provided the means for us to fight and win. Building on their previous work, Bill Cook and Chuck Lawless have written the most accessible, practical guide I have seen on spiritual warfare. It explains what God has done and what we can (and should) do to walk in victory. Far from wasting time on speculation, Victory over the Enemy repeatedly points the reader to Scripture and the One who is already victorious!" --Stuart Sheehan, president and CEO, World Hope Bible Institute "In Victory over the Enemy, Chuck Lawless and Bill Cook bring the truth about spiritual warfare to the level of laity without dumbing down its profundity. They expertly guide readers to face the enemy and be victorious even in this day of increasing biblical illiteracy and textual tone deafness.
This volume is not a luxury for the Christian--it is a necessity!" --Robert Smith Jr., Charles T. Carter Baptist Chair of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School.
