Breaking the Enemy's Grip

I heartily endorse Eddie Smith's book "Breaking the Enemy's Grip" if you want to be free from sinful habits and thoughts that may plague you. I am a born-again believer and a student of the Bible. But as I read this book, I was forced to confront certain habits and thought patterns I had entertained for years that were simply wrong. God used the information in this book to show me the error of my ways and to instruct me in what I needed to do to get free and stay free from sinful routines. The book is well-written and has a natural flow. You don't have to be a deep thinker or an accomplished theologian to understand the points Eddie brings forth. But you do have to be serious about changing. You have to be determined to be free, and be willing to do what must be done to break the enemy's grip off of your life. This book is not for everyone. Those who want to play at church, pretend to be Christian or life half in the world and half in the Kingdom will find this book troubling and upsetting. But if you are desperate and living in shame, what Eddie teaches in "Breaking the Enemy's Grip" is the truth of God that will set you free.

It is amazing how many strongholds you can allow enter your life without realing it. Thanks to the appendix for enlightening me in areas I was not aware were cultic practices. When I started to make my list, it was getting longer and longer as the Lord revealed to me what needed to be address. This is a thought provoking book that takes you to the next level for spiritual intimacy with out Savior.

I was first introduced to the principles of this book when God used Eddie Smith to minister into my life over fourteen years ago. After praying with me one afternoon, he handed me a teaching booklet called "10 Steps To Freedom" and challenged me to pray and follow through with the steps outlined in the booklet. Little did I know then how it would transform my life or how I would in turn use it to minister into the lives of many people over the following years. This is a powerful, insightful and practical book on leaving behind defeat and beginning to make a difference in God's Kingdom purposes and in the lives of others. God can bring an end to a painful past, peace instead of torment, forgiveness instead of bitterness. Breaking The Enemy's Grip will impact you for sure! Debbie

i highly recommend this book for many reasons. the first is that it clearly engages and fulfills the title. eddie smith confronts issues that many are fearful or unwilling to confront. his tremendous life and ministry experiences comes through loud and clear so that the reader says "now i understand". as a pastor, i have seen many walk well below the life of victory Christ has for them so this book will be a regular part of our recommended reading list.
