How to Survive an Attack

by Roberts Liardon

How to Survive An Attack
As Believers, we should not be afraid to discuss the devil.
Jesus did not exalt him by discussing him; He exposed him by teaching the disciples of his devices.

Through the pages of this book, Roberts Liardon profoundly and powerfully explains our ability as believers to stand against the attacks of the enemy in virtually every circumstance. Truth is the only antidote for deception. We can be alerted to every scheme of the enemy if we listen to our spirit.

Important principles you will learn include:

Knowing your enemy
How to recognize an attack
How to go through an attack
How to pray during an attack
How the human body, spirit and soul operate under attack
How the will, emotions, intellect, imagination and memory operate under attack
How to effectively recover from an attack

If we do not comprehend the tactics of our enemy, he can gain advantage over us. Roberts illustrates that anything hindering our relationship with God must be understood and properly dealt with. Our first priority is to know God and His character. You are valuable in the plan of God. Learn to stand against the attack and win in Jesus' Name!

Roberts Liardon is enthusiastic and easy to read. Constantly quoting scripture he steers one to stand strong and firm against spiritual attacks. I particularly liked the concept of singing whenever yourself like it - resonant with Psalm 100 which I read this morning. However I was struck by the under emphasis of the third person of the Trinty Jesus, in his retoric. And I don't think some of his theology is really scriptural as he often quotes a bible verse to back up when he wanted to say rather than considering it in its full context. I also disagreed with some points - e.g. testing the source on p11 doesn't consider what is meant by 1 Peter 1:6, Matthew 10:34-38, Romans 5:3-5 and the example of Job. Yes we are in a spiritual battle and yes we should be discerning and fight but fixing our eyes on Jesus will give us victory not simply survival. And spiritual victory can be gained through the refining fires of physical and emotional stress.
