Lord, Is it Warfare? Teach Me To Stand

After reading Philip Harrelson's "Top Ten Books of 2013" (check out his blog at barnabas14blog.blogspot.com) and finding this title by Kay Arthur listed, I decided to check it out. For one thing, I respect Kay Arthur and her thorough but "user-friendly" presentation of Bible study concepts. We do not agree on a few things, but in matters of Bible study, we definitely agree on most.

For another thing, I respect Philip Harrelson and his love of solid theology versus "pop" theology (my term--could also be called "Theology of Fluff" or maybe even "Feel Good Theology"--you are free to choose.) 😁


That being said, I am in the middle of this study on warfare and am finding it very thorough, but one able to be explored by both the average and more-than-average student of the Word. Totally Biblically based, it leaves the exploration and discovery to the student, and does not lead into areas of speculation or opinion regarding spiritual warfare.

In order to receive the most from this study, the student must be prepared to spend about 30 minutes per day reading the book, scriptures assigned, and answering the written questions. Do not attempt to take a shortcut. That totally defeats the purpose.  

This isn't a book to be read.  It is a concept to be explored and discovered.
