I want people to know! I taught a year at Batu Bible Institute in Java, and currently I'm teaching one month per year at Indonesia Cross-Cultural Institute. I love Indonesia. I have edited three magazines, told lots of stories, and joined the research staff for the amazing book 'Operation World'. Check out the OW website!I promised God an hour a week to pray for a demon-fearing tribe in West Africa, if God would teach me to pray. That straightened out my life some more. Others joined in, and the church out there finally began to grow. My boss asked me to write what I had been learning, and 'He Gives Us Authority' is the result! I have been invited to 30 countries to talk about Jesus, and how to pray when the devil seems to be winning.Unsolicited praise for 'He Gives Us Authority'Shord D, Lecturer, Worldview Centre for Intercultural StudiesThe book is great. The students each presented a 30 min tutorial on a section of it, and they were unanimous as to the value of the book and of that experience for them. As well the students need to write a term paper on their 'spiritual resources'. I expect that it will be cited by every student in the class.Geoff C, PastorYour book is an excellent and advanced insight into spiritual warfare. Having read widely on this area for many decades, I think yours is a unique and practical and mature missional contribution.Joseph B, NZ Candidate Director , WEC InternationalWe had Dr David Cashin, lecturer at Columbia International University, to speak to our candidates on the subject of Spiritual Warfare. As a thank you, we gave him the book 'He Gives us Authority'. I have heard that he was suitably impressed by it and has in fact made it his text book for the Spiritual Warfare course he teaches at CIU.Jackie R, Director, WEC UK (retired)When I started the book I was thinking 'This will be a good tool for helping others.' and that is true, but I have also found some bits were a challenge to me too! I like the format, and all the different illustrations bring it to life.Joy S, AuthorIt is magnificent. I have taken quite a while to work through it as there is so much to absorb and I shall read it again (and again and again!). It has made me feel a complete novice in the Christian life but I have learned a lot and want so much to be alert to the spiritual atmosphere around me and to be ready to minister both in the family and in the church.Jim D, Retreat manager"In a tribe where E has been planting a church, about a dozen kids began showing demonic influence, saying things like Satan paid for their sins, that he was 'soul flying' them around the valley, crazy stuff. The team had been praying for several days, re-sharing the gospel and the supremacy of Christ. Last night was the first night without any manifestations and they have been encouraging the kids with James 4:7 - submit to God, resist the devil. It's been an exhausting time and some of the new believers have also returned to some of their animist practices to appease the spirits. E picked up one of John Bardsley's books (He gives us Authority) and said it's been so helpful.Mal I, Mission leaderI think of you regularly as I study your book. I am being blessed by the teaching.view less
