Synopsis

This highly readable--and useful--examination of Satan and spiritual warfare was written out of necessity. In recent years, pastor and teacher Dennis McCallum found himself fielding more and more questions about Satan. He wanted to recommend a book on the subject, but those he found either reflected extreme beliefs, contained little biblical instruction, used fear tactics, or were poorly written.

In Satan and His Kingdom, McCallum clarifies what is true and what is false about Satan, demons, and demonic control--both historically and today. He shows readers how to effectively battle the enemy individually and corporately, all the while keeping their focus on Christ, not Satan. A reliable resource for pastors, lay leaders, and any Christian wanting to know more about evil in the world.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

A Biblical Look at Satan--and How to Counter His Influence

Pastor and teacher Dennis McCallum clarifies what the Bible teaches about Satan, evil spirits, demonic control, and spiritual warfare--and how it applies today. McCallum covers all the key topics, including:

Who is Satan? Where did he come from? Why is he still on the loose?
How do evil forces operate against individuals? Against churches?
What steps should we take to resist temptation and other attacks?
How can we keep our focus on Christ, not Satan?

Comprehensive, reliable, and balanced, this book avoids extremism and sensationalism, making it the ideal resource for pastors, layleaders, and any Christian wanting to know more about the work of evil in the world.

"Not since C. S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters have we had as convincing a presentation that Satan's favorite method of relating to modern people is to convince them he is not real, thereby giving him freedom to operate amongst the unsuspecting. Highly recommended." --Dr. Ben Witherington, III, Asbury Theological Seminary

"Drawing upon solid biblical support, careful reasoning, and extensive experience, Dennis McCallum has developed an important tool from which all Christians can greatly benefit." --R. Scott Smith, PhD, Biola University
