Jesus Christ is the light that no darkness can overcome.
Spiritual warfare isn't always obvious. It's normally not scary or spooky; it's usually rather mundane. Yet it's real and always miraculous.
In Spiritual Warfare, Harold Ristau shows that faithful spiritual warfare isn't about secret methods and rituals. The good fight is fought with God's word, prayer, and worship. As the church preaches the forgiveness of sins, the darkness is pierced with the light of Christ and those in bondage are freed.
Drawing on the Scriptures as God's word, the wisdom of the church, and his own pastoral experience, Ristau equips readers to discern the works of the devil clearly in the church and the world and encourages them to counter his ways confidently with the resources that Christ himself supplies.

A tremendous spur to pondering and meditation, confession and thanksgiving, and living our daily lives in simple reliance on the invincible power of God.
