Fighting Satan: Knowing His Weaknesses, Strategies, and Defeat
5/5
()
About this ebook
In a day when society has in many ways placed itself under Satan’s rule, when Satanism is flourishing in Western nations, when certain branches of the church are preoccupied with “deliverance ministries,” and when others deny the devil’s existence, Fighting Satan is a sober, practical perspective on this vital subject. Joel R. Beeke states, “We must know our enemy. We must know how to withstand him and what spiritual weapons to take up against him. We must defeat him by faith through lives that bear fruit and spread the truth.”
With questions for reflection and discussion at the close of each chapter, Fighting Satan is ideal for group and individual Bible study.
