The Battle Belongs to the Lord
We All Have Battles
No human life is free from adversity. From the moment we arrive on this planet, we face internal and external challenges to our existence. We learn to flee or fight. We strive to cope, taking wins and losses in varying proportions, but we all struggle. How can we succeed? Do we even have the tools to do so? Maybe you have been told that all the resources you need to win life reside within you. Not so. The book you have in your hands contains perhaps the most powerful insight for facing life’s persistent traumas—you don’t have to fight alone.
In these pages, you will find solid biblical evidence for the fact that the path of faith is much more than a coping mechanism. The stories of Old Testament conflicts will clearly show that God is willing and able to fight with you and for you in your battles for understanding, reassurance, perception, and against discouragement, fear, and powerlessness. This is real. The God of the Bible has a message for you.

After completing her Bachelors in music education, Elizabeth went on to work in the business world for many years in the accounting and managing departments. She earned a Master’s degree in Organizational Behavior at that time. During this period of approx. 15 years, she volunteered as a part-time youth pastor. She was invited to become a full-time minister which she gladly accepted as a call from God. She became a young adults/young families’ pastor and evangelist while earning her Master’s degree in Biblical studies and subsequent Ph.D. in the university of Gloucestershire, UK.

This book focuses on 10 battles that are commonly faced by most people, then related them to a Biblical story. The author uses personal stories to bring the “battle point” home. I love that she reiterates the main point she is trying to bring across at the end. I would recommend this book because it applies to everyone and gives the hope that is needed.

i'm only on chapter two so far. i really enjoyed the first chapter, but the second was hard to get through. for one, it's basically the same thing that was said in chapter one. but the way chapter two was written is very annoying. "wait. what?" "so what happened with...?" stuff like that. just stick to the story. everything else is unnecessary and annoying.

This book was incredibly encouraging and a beautiful reminder that we’re never alone. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” Psalm 46:1
