Slaying Dragons: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Warfare
The real fight is the one you can't see.
The supernatural realm is very real, and it directly impacts our day-to-day lives. Often spiritual battles lie behind our everyday struggles. Though the spiritual world is invisible, we are not unaware of the enemy’s schemes. Through God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit we are equipped to be more than conquerors through Christ!
With doctrinally sound, practical teaching, Slaying Dragons shows how the demonic realm fits into orthodox thoughts on salvation, redemption, and kingdom life. Daniel Kolenda demystifies spiritual warfare to shine light on what the enemy is doing in readers’ lives and what they can do to slay every dragon they encounter. It also contains real-world examples of encounters with spiritual darkness, demonstrating examples of how “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5, NIV).
It’s easy to lose sight of the big picture as we focus on our everyday struggles. But our daily battles are part of a much bigger war, and we have been given all we need to win. Slaying Dragons will show readers what the enemy is trying to accomplish and how they can slay every dragon they encounter—in their lives and in the world.
This book will teach you to see and overcome the spiritual battles behind your everyday struggles.

Here's the real deal on this book:
There are two reactions occurring right now in the realm of the Spirit regarding the publishing of Slaying Dragons.
1. Jesus, sitting on His glorious throne with great joy that the revelation of Divine Partnership with God is being released worldwide to His wonderful Sons and Daughters.
2. Satan is getting sick, absolutely sick over the fact that where once, God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, there will NOW be an ARMY OF MILLIONS.
I am so glad I bought this book in paperback and on Audible! It’s a life changing, foundational teaching by which we will all be equipped to DEMONSTRATE the kingdom of God in power to a lost world! Just awesome! I also bought this book for people serving Jesus in Singapore! I viewed it as my investment for souls in that beautiful nation!!!

Holy cow… this was incredible!!!!!! Top 3 Christian books of all time for me.
He goes so deep on aspects of God I never even considered but needed to hear. I hope to reread this as a small group or with a biblestudy so I can dig even deeper. He also has follow up questions each chapter making this great for that anyway.
Lastly, although this book is on spiritual warfare, it is a very small percentage of the book. Instead he builds a foundation that answers most questions before even needing to ask them. The title is deceiving In the best of ways.

Such a great book filled with new revelations and practicals.
Learned so much about the schemes of the devil in implanting seeds of unbelief in the word and character of God into the hearts of man that ultimately led to the fall. Unbelief leads to doing whats right in our own eyes instead of relying on Gods imparting of wisdom. And therefore the importance of trusting in Gods word and living it out in the midst of spiritual battle we fight everyday.

Practical and biblical

I didn't read a lot of books regarding spiritual warfare but this one is probably the most authentic, the least trying to make you fearful, but trying to provide you with a knowledge based on experience and relationship with God, on the journey of growing in God with God, not on plain persons thoughts and beliefs. I recommend this if you are looking for something that is raw and honest, that would make you mature in Christ, rather than fill you with tons of information that's just a theory and it's pure purpose is to shock the reader.

Great book on spiritual Warfare
This book is great. It’s Biblical, practical, easy to read, and filled with amazing truth about how we as believers can walk in the victory over darkness that We have through the power of Christ. Daniel Kolenda speaks from a place of experience, both in knowing the word but also in seeing what he is writing about as a part of his life and ministry. Check it out for sure if you’re interested in spiritual warfare.

This is a great book to read, especially now. With the corona virus impacting the world, with so much fear our doubt out there... this book offers a wake up call to remember Jesus! Remember His sacrifice on the cross for you to be free, for you to enjoy life free of the chains of bondage, of slavery or entrapment.

Having read and taught much on spiritual warfare, I highly recommend this new book (2019). It is an easily understood book that covers all the theology and Biblical material any believer should have.
The focus is on the Lordship of Jesus Christ and bringing all people into His ever-growing Kingdom.

Had a few interpretations of scripture that I did not agree with towards the beginning, but aside from that it was a very solid book. Later chapters were downright creepy and I had to stop reading them at night lol. This book has really brought spiritual warfare to the forefront of my mind now and I can’t UNSEE it in everything- from the commercials on tv to pop culture to politics- it’s wild!

Powerful
Powerful, full of knowledge worth sharing with siblings, friends, foes. This reading is to be dissected, absorbed for it will bring out an outpouring of emotions; from past experience from observing others struggle. Highly recommended!

Wasn't what I expected. Kolenda does not claim that he is an expert of demonology or spiritual warfare; instead, he gives practical guides based on foundational truths.

Buckle Up!
Great insight to spiritual warfare with plenty of wisdom & application detailed. Persistence is key, & love is necessary. As CHRISTians we now fight from the vantage point of victory. Don’t be deceived💯‼️

I read the book three time in succession. Loved it! I can't say enough to do the book justice. Just outstanding.

Straightforward and biblical.
I very much appreciate the author’s perspective. Grounded in scripture and experience, this book would be helpful for almost every believer.

Took a little to dig into this book, but such a good expounding on the topic of spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry. Highly recommended.

Daniel presents as very intelligent but is quick to acknowledge his limitations. His knowledge base provides new insights and considerations to a topic I have studied much.

So many books about spiritual warfare, this is the first book that I thought quite simple yet very well done in explaining about spiritual warfare.

One of the best books I’ve ever read on spiritual warfare. Combines biblical teaching with Practical guidance really well. Inspiring and challenging to spiritual growth.

Super great and practical guide to spiritual warfare with lots of real world examples. Solid theology without any superstitious fluff.
June 12, 2021
I quite enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to other serious believers. Its ironically easy to read yet deep in content. Contrary to what the title might suggest, I did not find it to be a manual of new ideas or an exhaustive understanding of whats happening in the spiritual world, but it rather focuses on some of the basic tenants of the faith and a call to return to the basics to live a purposeful life. I think I'll find myself re-reading this in the future.

Clearly the author has the experience and Biblical knowledge to be able to write about this subject, and he does it well. He focuses on laying a very important foundation of proper Biblical understanding and practices for approaching the subject of demons. Highly recommend.

Muito bom!!
Este livro surpreendeu-me por ser tão completo, fala sobre perdão, amor ao próximo e outras características do caráter de um cristão que são imprescindíveis para podermos entrar em guerra espiritual. Dá uma visão muito equilibrada sobre a realidade espiritual e acima de tudo é um livro que nos ajuda a ser melhores cristãos.

This simple book demystifies the wild stories of spiritual warfare and gives a scriptural, balanced approach to this important topic.
