Standing Strong: How to Resist the Enemy of Your Soul

This is a must read book if you want to understand what biblical spiritual warfare is.

In reading this book, it confirmed a lot of things I had come to believe. Coming from a more charismatic form of worship, I have, for a while, followed reformed theology. John MacArthur is one of my favorite theologians. Pastor MacArthur broke down spiritual warfare down to its common denominator...trusting in God and him alone. Religion today is peppered with zoarasterism, existentialism, esoteric constructs and "creational" metaphysics (speaking those things as though they were), which is totally out of context with Romans 4:17. This books helps me make points now that would have taken me some time before with my collegues. Thank you Pastor MacArthur for printing and preaching the truth about God's word!

This is a powerfully written book by Pastor John MacArthur that brings clarity to the subject of the 'spiritual warfare movement'. He has done the homework for people to understand a movement that is laden with errors, distorting the scriptures, and is heaped in sensationalism. These teachings are captivating a "bored with scripture" audience, and which is currently being militantly advanced in the Church today. Seminars, books, and conferences abound, and Christians are flocking to learn the newest techniques. But true spiritual warfare isn't about skill or techniques, but is about true 'spiritual character'. pg. 87-89. Standing Strong' is an excellent book addressing this popular movement and it's beliefs, practices, and then gives the reader the answers that you need. The book is designed as a bible study aid for personal or small group study. A study guide is at the back of the book. MacArthur helps the reader to discern fact from fiction, and how to be well-balanced when studying these spiritual warfare techniques, practices, and experiences, and does this by examining them with the scripture. This movement is advancing rapidly, due to poor doctrinal teaching, books and popular teachers. This book will help to sort out the doctrinal confusion that is occurring. One of the key problems is: a shallow view of salvation, and sanctification. The author takes the popular teachings and dismantles them with the truth found in the bible and gives the true meaning of the gospel and what santification really is in conparison to the distorted doctrines that are taught and believed.

This book is one of the BEST books I have read on resisting the enemy. Its very easy to understand. I have always questioned the act of casting out spirits in our Christian walk, like why didnt Jesus give us more information on how to & when to, now I see why... The enemy has us focused on chasing evil spirits & casting every kind of spirit out & rebuking this & that instead of our relationship with Jesus & our responsability to that walk. Please read this book & get the truth & be set free from casting, rebuking & demanding

This book ought to be read by every Christian who wants to live a victorious Christian life. I highly recommend it. It is easy to read and follow through with what the Bible teaches.

I am planning to use this book for my own personal knowledge and to share with others.
