About this title

From the Back Cover

Spiritual Warfare 101

The Bible is clear: if you are a Christian, you are at war. But our approach to spiritual warfare usually falls into one of two extremes--either we place an undue emphasis on Satan and his powers, or we completely ignore the existence of a personal enemy. The Invisible War offers believers a balanced look at what the Bible says on the subject.

Based on Paul's teaching in Ephesians 6, this book shows every believer what we need to know about Satan, demons, and spiritual warfare. Find out how to

· prepare yourself for spiritual battle
· cultivate invincible faith
· find freedom from demonic influence

"There's no room for platitudes or vague, spiritual answers to pressing, difficult questions," says Chip Ingram. The Invisible War will help you understand your position in Christ, put on the full armor of God, and stand firm against the enemy.

Chip Ingram, a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, is president and teaching pastor of Living on the Edge, an international teaching, media, and discipleship ministry. Chip's vision is to partner with the local church to be a worldwide catalyst for discipleship. He is the author of nine books, including Finding God When You Need Him Most; Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships; God: As He Longs for You to See Him; and Good to Great in God's Eyes. He is also the coauthor of Sex 180. Chip resides in Atlanta with his wife, Theresa, and has four grown children and six grandchildren.

From the Inside Flap

Excerpt in catalog: This book is my best attempt to bridge the gap in the teaching available on spiritual warfare. Although it is an exposition of Ephesians 6, the reader will find the application of this passage far from theoretical. When one is ministering in a culture where witches are actively praying against you and a horse's head is placed on a stake across from your church to cast a spell on it, there's no room for platitudes or vague spiritual answers to pressing difficult questions. Much of satanic opposition, however, is extraordinarily subtle and has no dramatic manifestations. For this reason, much of the book will deal with the everyday schemes of the evil one in a forthright, biblical, and relevant manner.
