Safe and sound

We are all in a real spiritual battle! It involves our heart, the world, and the forces of evil. When our hearts deceive us and our culture leads us astray, Satan's desires and purposes are at work.

And how does this affect you?

If you're like me, it can be hard to remember daily that we are in this war. Like any spiritual reality, it's easy to forget something when you can't see it with your own eyes. This book aims to make us attentive and vigilant to the true battles we face. The days we live in are dark. This is a book about resisting the powers of darkness – on behalf of yourself, your loved ones, and those you counsel.

In the book, the author will share with you stories that show what some of the battles of his life have been like. He will share stories from other people's lives, so that we may benefit from what they have learned about how we should resist. He will tell stories because this is not a topic that can remain abstract. The reality of the Great Battle for our soul is laid out in the Bible, from Genesis 3 to Revelation 22. We are real people with a real problem. That is personal for all of us.

With a careful analysis of Ephesians 6 and much biblical wisdom, David Powlison explains the powerful spiritual weapons God has given us. He shows how counseling should act in the face of the reality of conflicts with the heart, death, the occult, and animism. He points out how the gospel announces to us Christ's triumph over the empire of darkness.
