Scripture is clear: the spiritual battlefield is real and the Enemy is determined. But most Christians are ill-equipped and unprepared when attacked, and even fewer are on the offensive. Still others write off spiritual warfare as irrelevant today, while on the other extreme some credit Satan for every imaginable problem in life. The purpose of this book is to provide biblical balance and clarity in order to establish a proper battle plan – exposing the Enemy for who he really is and showing Christians how to win this war with the spiritual weapons already at their disposal. Disarming the Powers of Darkness answers critical battleground questions: · * Does Satan know my thoughts and hear my prayers? · * Where exactly does spiritual warfare take place? · * How do we deal with spirits of fear and uncertainty? · * How can we be victorious in a culture that is increasingly dark?

Time Is Running Out--Are You Battle Ready? Military leaders throughout history have used the strategy of deception to win wars--and Satan is a master strategist. He and his forces have enveloped the world in an unprecedented age of mass media disinformation, government psychological operations, social media censorship and other sophisticated mind-control techniques. In this eye-opening book, military and religious expert Colonel David J. Giammona and Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist Troy Anderson equip you to recognize--and resist--the propaganda and deceptive ideologies infiltrating the Church and society. The last days are coming. And if we don't know how to fight the enemy's pervasive lies, we will be swept away by them. Here are the powerful military and spiritual tactics you need to stand against the devil's rampant deceptions and be a light to a world in darkness. "This book will prepare you to recognize and counter deception not only in politics, religion, media and science, but especially in yourself."--HUGH ROSS, astrophysicist; founder and president, Reasons to Believe "A life-changing, hard-hitting and deeply insightful book. It's the training manual for the coming revival and revolution of the Church."--DR. ROBERT JEFFRESS, pastor; professor; television host, Pathway to Victory

Nathan Foster has lived with the spiritual disciplines all his life, but has had to find his own unique path. As he sought - sometimes rebelliously - to develop habits that would enable him to live more like Jesus, he encountered problems both personal and universal. Gradually he discovered creative new ways to practice disciplines such as fasting, meditation and simplicity, to live as Jesus lived. With a foreword from Nathan's father Richard, who provides a fresh introduction to each of the disciplines, The Making of an Ordinary Saint invites us to be formed into the likeness of Christ's character.

In 2005, Father Julián Carrón became the leader of the global ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation, following the death of the movement's founder, Father Luigi Giussani. Disarming Beauty is the English translation of an engaging and thought-provoking collection of essays by one of the principal Catholic leaders and intellectuals in the world today. Adapted from talks given by Fr. Carrón, these essays have been thoroughly reworked by the author to offer an organic presentation of a decade-long journey. They present the content of his elaboration of the gospel message in light of the tradition of Fr. Giussani, the teachings of the popes, and the urgent needs of contemporary people. Carrón offers a broad diagnosis of challenges in society and then introduces their implications in contexts such as families, schools, workplaces, and political communities. In a dialogue with his listeners, he inspires and encourages them to lay out a new path for the Catholic church and the world. Throughout his essays, Carrón addresses the most pressing questions facing theologians today and provides insights that will interest everyone, from the most devout to the firm nonbeliever. Grappling with the interaction of Christian faith and modern culture, Carrón treats in very real and concrete ways what is essential to maintaining and developing Christian faith, and he invites an ongoing conversation about the meaning of faith, truth, and freedom.
