To date, C. Peter Wagner's first four books in the "Prayer Warrior" series have sold nearly 200,000 copies. This series has proven to be among the most significant book series on prayer published in the 1990s. Now, in this fifth book in the series, Wagner examines the New Testament evidence for strategic-level spiritual warfare. This is vintage excellent scholarship, inspirational stories of prayer warriors from across the globe, and most importantly, strong biblical evidence supporting the place and purpose of spiritual warfare for today's Church. In Confronting the Powers, the reader will learn the schemes of the enemy and how to overcome him in order to advance the Kingdom of God.
Charles Peter Wagner (August 15, 1930 – October 21, 2016) was a theologian, missiologist, missionary, writer, teacher, and church growth specialist best known for his highly controversial writings on spiritual warfare.
Wagner served as a missionary in Bolivia under the South American Mission and Andes Evangelical Mission (now SIM International) from 1956 to 1971. He then served for 30 years (1971 to 2001) as Professor of Church Growth at the Fuller Theological Seminary's School of World Missions until his retirement in 2001. He is the author of more than 70 books. He was the president of Global Harvest Ministries from 1993 to 2011 and served as the chancellor emeritus of Wagner Leadership Institute, which trains leaders to join in a movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, an organization Wagner also helped found. He was also the vice president of Global Spheres, Inc.
