Review # 1 was written on 2009-07-21 00:00:00 Anthony Davis After reading this book enough times to have to keep the pages together with a big rubberband, need I say much more? I may have a few minor disagreements or questions about the way Frangipane connects some of the dots Scripturally, in perhaps embellishing the context or interpretation...but nothing that deters me from being greatly encouraged and motivated by this wonderful book. We are all weary of the fray. Those who follow Jesus fully and without reserve have been in an unseen struggle from the time we got really serious about Him, a struggle that is intensifying. The temptation is to want an extended R&R, but the enemy of Heaven doesn't fight according to the Geneva Accord. Our best R&R is described in Psalm 23, and in accepting Jesus' invitation in Matthew to receive His rest in coming to him. Francipane lays a strong foundation at the beginning of this book in identifying the passivity that has held the Church in its grip for too long. The reasons for such a passive spirit are many, and don't matter. Bottom line: it's time to put on the armour again, and show up for duty. The rest of the book deals with various areas of spiritual combat, including the home front; our church; the city where we live; and the government. Nothing unusual there. But it is the way Francipane drives his call to arms home that I find so energizing. I'm not left feeling burdened with even MORE on my spiritual "to do and achieve" list. Instead, I'm charged up with fresh confidence that this is a battle against an already defeated foe who is brash enough to think he can continue pretending...and for that reason, for the rest of the world who is being deceived and for Christians who are clueless...we must use the authority given by our Commander and retake lost spiritual territory. There will be a time when weapons are melted down and turned into ploughshears. But that is not this day. "THIS day, we fight!"

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-30 00:00:00 Wheeler Steffes This is an amazing book that will awaken your spirit and open your eyes to the heart of God and the deception of the enemy, where your mind has been clouded, where you have allowed sin to enter in...it is a call to those who will have courage to look into their inner man and surrender all things to the Lord. Then, who will stand up and fight in prayer, intercession, worship, aggressive love, laying it all down and carrying your cross. A book in season...very good.
