This book focuses on demon oppression and spiritual warfare in the believer's life (as opposed to demonic influences in the lives of unblievers), making it a unique manual. It is written by a formerly Baptist minister, now with Fuller Theological Seminary, so it is ideal reading for those Christians who come from a non-charismatic background who believe that Christians cannot be bothered by demons. It is well-grounded in Scripture, and calmly written, making it markedly different than some sensationalistic books that hype up this area and focus on excessive emotionalism.
If you do not believe that demons can affect Christians, or if you suspect they can, but don't know how, this is the book for you. It is meaty, and in-depth, repeating common themes so that they can be absorbed, not just read about.
If you are a Christian and have been bothered by recurring or troublesome problems in your life and/or those of believers around you, and can't figure out why, this book will have many answers for you. I think it should be required reading for every committed believer, or every believer who wants to be an overcomer, truly free in every area of his/her life.
The main purpose of the book, aside from information and understanding about this area, is to motivate believers to have the courage to step out in ministry in this important area. It establishes a Scriptural basis for this, and walks you through beginning in basic, everyday ministry.
I learned so much, because I knew little about demons, but was very afraid to find out. This book allays your fears, and teaches you the truth from the Word of God so that you will not be afraid. It gave me the courage to step out; in fact, today my husband and I prayed about some issues and it worked! Of course, God always comes through, but it was exciting to have the encouragement and training so that I could have the confidence to take this important first step---trying for the first time. If you are in any type of ministry, even "just" in your home to your family, and are afraid to begin or don't know where to start, this is the book for you.
