Prayer of the Warrior

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as a new convert to the Catholic faith. I recommend all of Michael Brown's books, especially this one as it recounts his dramatic journey back to the faith. Also a great discussion on the current spiritual crisis the world is in.

Michael Brown, a successful journalist, in this book shares his own experiences and provides witness to the spiritual battle of good versus evil. And how evil seems to be the actual definition of the time we live in. He shows us that one of Satan's greatest powers is convince people he does not exist. While all along he is deceiving the world. He shows us how the demonic forces have intruded into almost every aspect of modern life. And has been welcomed in our modern culture. Mr. Brown also shows us what he has learned on his spiritual journey. That as the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been saying for years, Prayer and love will drive these fallen angels away. And from that arsenal, the Rosary and Mass our best weapons.

This wonderful book will appeal to those Christians who understand that the mystical is real and who do not subscribe to a cynical interpretation of Scripture. Michael Brown's journey from a secular life as a journalist to a devotional life centered on the Blessed Virgin Mother will console those who struggle to sustain their faith in the post-Christian paganism of the contemporary world. The central theme of the book is spiritual warfare against the demonic realities which surround us and which have penetrated almost every aspect of popular culture. The book maintains a sober balance between the recognition that evil is an ontological, personal reality and the Catholic hopefulness that it cannot overcome us. In simple, lucid prose Mr. Brown describes the life of the spiritual warrior whose main weapons are the rosary, Mass and prayer. He discusses the significance of the many Marian apparitions in the last 150 years and recounts his own experiences at Medjugorge. Michael Brown reminds us that penance, humility and quiet devotion are essential to our own salvation and for the amelioration of the coming chastisements.

This is a story of the author's personal spiritual journey home to Christianity. It begins with him being of the world and all about his career and worldly goals. Then after some Angelic intervention, Mr. Brown begins his long journey. That changes his whole outlook on life and the world around him. It is a riveting and emotional tale. Mr. Brown is an accomplished investigative journalist. His strong research style adds an air of credibility to a very personal story that leads deeply into spiritual warfare. He effectively sprinkles guidance and prayers along with the narrative of his journey. This is a powerful book. I could not put it down. I have bought copies for a number of family members and friends and all have found it gripping. Some even saw it as a personal awakening!
