On Spiritual Warfare is the sequel to the bestseller,On Spiritual Combat. This new book is the most effective apologetics and personal faith guide available today. It is poetic, motivating, doctrinally sound, and full of Scripture. It will keep you reading page after page. Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Sgt. Christ Pascoe have done a masterful job of explaining the undeniable connection between evil, violence, and crime in the world and the spiritual warfare required to defeat it. This book is a reminder that “evildoers…will go from bad to worse” (2 Timothy 3:13), but the righteous have a duty to stand and fight in the face of evil. On Spiritual Warfare reveals that our law enforcement officers are more than just “cops”; they are soldiers of light, commissioned and powered by God to fight injustice and evil.

Now more than ever, those who serve and protect us are under assault. In order to do their job properly, they need to understand that while they may have been trained to combat physical threats, spiritual threats can also destroy lives. On Spiritual Warfare will help guide them toward an effectual engagement in that spiritual conflict.

My copy of On Spiritual Combat is dog-eared, highlighted, and full of notes. It occupies the space on my bookshelf next to The Westminster Catechism. The current book, On Spiritual Warfare: 22 Warning Orders for Virtuous Warriors, is the next step, delivering an instructional handbook for Christian warriors engaged in both spiritual and physical combat. Authors Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Sgt. Chris Pascoe have created a treasure trove of verse, hymns, prayers, and commentary that is both inspirational in its message and practical in its application. I especially recommend this book for members of church security teams who must confront evil in the physical realm as they defend their flocks from violent attack.

Since 1998, I’ve served in various military and law enforcement capacities. In these vocations, we are absolutely engaged in spiritual warfare. I wish I’d had On Spiritual Warfare years ago to help guide me as I walked this path, and I am thankful to have it now. This is no ordinary devotional. It is truly a modern adaptation of Erasmus’s Manual of a Christian Knight, full of warnings and guidance on how to navigate our perilous times successfully. I believe that embracing the disciplines that are spelled out in this book will help you fully realize and dwell within the freedom that Christ has bought for us, and help you truly thrive in your role as protector and servant. God is on the move, and he is calling warriors to step out in faith. On Spiritual Warfare is going to have a powerful ministry and effect on and through those warriors. It has truly been written for such a time as this!

Do you want to be triumphant in spiritual warfare against the forces of evil? If so, then you have found a special gem containing generations of value. The authors of On Spiritual Warfare have been on their sheep-dog journey for a long time compared to most of us, and in their book they offer a bag full of treasures they’ve collected. If you think of the Bible as a five-thousand-piece puzzle, then On Spiritual Warfare (and the previous book, On Spiritual Combat), are like being gifted the lid to the puzzle box with a beautiful full-color photo: the clarity they provide is amazing! Let On Spiritual Warfare be the guide on your path to becoming one of God’s special ops warriors.

On Spiritual Warfare is neither a traditional devotional nor a theoretical treatise on the Bible’s teachings on spiritual warfare. It is a timely, insightful, morale-boosting manual on effectively engaging the spiritual dangers in our world today. We can and must engage evil on both physical and spiritual fronts, and authors Dave Grossman and Chris Pascoe have knowledge and experience with both. Their book leads us in becoming the warriors that God needs us to be rather than falling as mere casualties or, even worse, as pawns or combatants for the other side. On Spiritual Warfare is the guidebook we all need.
