After over three decades of pastoral and missionary experience, author and pastor Dr. Cliff Boone is no longer surprised to hear certain questions and concerns:
How can I tell if my temptation has a demonic element or is only because of my sinful self? I know that we are told to resist the devil, but how do I do that? How much influence can Satan have over a Christian? Is there a way I can protect myself and my children? Are my weird and frightening dreams because of evil spirits? How do I recognize when I’m being attacked by the evil one? This topic makes me afraid. Why can’t I just ignore it?
This book gives the answers to these questions and more. Dr. Boone explains what it means to resist the devil and why it is important to do so. Rather than be afraid and defeated we can be equipped to experience Christ’s victory over the evil one.
Dr. Cliff Boone has over three decades of pastoral and missionary experience, and his exposure to the reality of demonic resistance forced him into the Bible to find help. What he found there he then proved in the crucible of church-planting and pastoral ministry. Dr. Boone has a master of divinity degree from Columbia International University, and a PhD in theology from the University of Wales, Lampeter. Today he serves as senior pastor of Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship Church in Allentown, Pennsylvania. His website can be found at: www.gospelfreedom.org.
An excellent book on spiritual warfare and the activity of the devil in this age as he prowls around like a roaring lion. Boone is not one who sees the devil or demons under every rock, yet he is right to demonstrate how the devil is active today and how the modern American evangelical church minimizes and ignores his activity. Not only does Cliff Boone point to Scripture but he is able to weave in stories from his experiences on the mission field, as a pastor, and from the lives of other people. The chapters are short and the book is an easy read.
This book was extremely helpful in understanding more of the spiritual realm and how to fight against the evil dark powers through the authority of Jesus Christ and the power of his blood.
