Description:
Jesus Christ is the light that no darkness can overcome.
Spiritual warfare isn't always obvious. It's normally not scary or spooky; it's usually rather mundane. Yet it's real and always miraculous.

As the church preaches the forgiveness of sins, the darkness is pierced with the light of Christ and those in bondage are freed.

Review Quotes:
Drawing on the Scriptures as God's word, the wisdom of the church, and his own pastoral experience, Ristau equips readers to discern the works of the devil clearly in the church and the world and encourages them to counter his ways confidently with the resources that Christ himself supplies.
