Spiritual Warfare
Ready for Battle Many of us are familiar with the term “spiritual warfare” but have trouble knowing where to find scriptural guidance on this topic. The Bible is clear that all of us are engaged in battle. The Bible also teaches that perspective is the key to focusing on eternal issues without letting go of the realities of living on earth. This study guide offers a balanced perspective on the scope of spiritual warfare, what battle attitudes we should have, and how we can face spiritual conflict without losing sight of God’s power and sovereignty. Scott Moreau examines biblical passages closely to give foundational truths necessary for keeping our spiritual balance in turbulent times.

Essentials of Spiritual Warfare
There's a war going on . . . and you have what it takes to win. Christians are engaged in a cosmic war between good and evil, a war waged on many fronts -- in our hearts and minds, in our churches, and in our world. How can we be equipped for the fight? Is God still in control? How did Jesus engage in spiritual warfare? How powerful is Satan, and how can we resist him? With clarity and depth, Scott Moreau answers these questions and more as he maps out a biblical overview of spiritual warfare. He encourages us to put truth into action and to stand firm in our personal battles and against evil in the world.

Reflecting God's Glory Together
The true story of mission has been deeper, wider, and far more diverse than many Christians in countries with long histories of church presence have realized. The authors in "Reflecting God s Glory Together: Diversity in Evangelical Mission" drive that point home in a variety of ways. From Filipino and Ghanaian missionary work in North American cities, to Canadian work among the Chinese diaspora, to African-American work in Zimbabwe, the authors help us begin to grasp just how many ways evangelicals in mission are truly going from and coming to everywhere as they follow Christ s mandate to reach the nations. Diverse voices utilizing diverse strategies pursuing a common call: these result in a mosaic whose larger pattern glorifies the God who came to live among us and who continues to send us out in the pattern God so clearly established. As editors, Beth and Scott invite you to explore the stories embedded in that marvelous mosaic that we have been privileged to collect for this volume."
