There is much more to our common struggles than meets the eyeOur modern Western world is deeply confused about what is good and what is evil. We know little about angels and demons, though the Scriptures we purport to believe have much to say about them. Most of us are unprepared for spiritual war. And we are paying for it.Drawing from Holy Scripture, church history, and his own experiences as a missionary and a military chaplain, Harold Ristau helps us develop a biblical understanding of our spiritual vulnerability in both "ordinary" life, such as personal temptation, and "extraordinary" situations, such as demonic oppression and possession. He takes us beyond theory, where many other resources stop, providing practical tools to equip us for our personal battles and steps to take to protect ourselves and others from evil forces. And he details an effective, proven process for mature ministers and clergy to follow when participating in an exorcism.If you want to be prepared for the battles that lie ahead, this book is your grounded, Christ-centered, hope-filled guide to ministering to the demonically oppressed or possessed.
