John White brings us advice and insights from the battlefield. He contends that the Christian life is not a passive affair, but a battle from beginning to end against a strong and cunning adversary. Establishing a relationship with Christ makes us an enemy to this adversary who knows our weak and unprotected flanks. Other subjects deal with faith, holiness, deliverance from drudgery and guidance. Written in a clear, easily understood style.
...To know God's Word; To share the Faith; To communicate with God; To find God's Will!
