So whats in it. See the inside details and Table of contents at Amazon here.

Wiersbe seeks to teach us the targets Satan aims at in your life, the weapons he uses to attack you, the purposes that he wants to achieve, and the defenses God has provided for you.

This is a hand book on Christian Living and not chasing a demon behind every bush. This book is solidly Scriptural as just a cursory reading will reveal. Chapter one is about how Satan is the deceiver, how he attacks our minds with lies so we will be ignorant to God’s will. Our weapon is the Word of God. Chapter two is about how Satan is the Destroyer attacking our bodies with suffering so we will be impatient with God’s will but God provides for us His grace to overcome these attacks. Chapter three is about Satan being the Ruler seeking to have rule over our wills by seeking to make us proud and thus independent of God’s Will. But God provides His Holy Spirit so we can overcome this attack of the enemy. Chapter four is about how Satan is the Accuser and how he brings accusations against our heart and conscience. He seeks to bring an indictment against us but our defense is Christ’s Intercession for us. Other chapters include Living by Faith in God, Don’t give Satan a Beachhead, What to wear to the War, Satan’s Army, and Satan and the Home.
