• Over 300,000 Copies Sold

There is joy and triumph in the Christian life. But victory often comes through struggle. John White knows this tension well, and he gives us encouragement to persevere.

The Fight is an accessible, classic guide to the basics of Christian living: faith, prayer, temptation, evangelism, guidance, Bible study, interpersonal relationships, and work. Beginning with an exploration of what happens at conversion, White offers refreshing insights into the challenges and joys of freedom in Christ that will benefit both new and experienced Christians. Along with numerous stories from White's own journey of faith, each chapter includes suggested Bible study passages and questions.

Now redesigned as part of the IVP Signature Collection, with a new foreword by Tom Lin, The Fight has for more than forty years served as a powerful resource to help thousands of Christians fight the good fight of faith.
