Customer Reviews

I highly recommend it

I read Victory Over the Darkness to discuss with a group of friends, and reading the book was a great experience for me. Neil Anderson reflects thoughtfully on what it means to have an identity based in Christ, instead of worldly attributes, without sounding "preachy" or overly complex. Anderson's style is comparable to Max Lucado's works. The book flows easily, with lots of concrete examples from Anderson's experiences. Recently, I gave my copy of this book to a friend who was questioning her faith, and I highly recommend it for anyone who has questions about what it means to have a relationship with Christ.

Excellent Book !

I highly recommend this book to anyone who may be suffering from spiritual opression. The book outlines the easy steps to victory over the enemy of our souls. In Christ, you are more than a conqueror. I have given away copies of this book to my friends. I highly recommend this book and "The Bondage Breaker" also written by Neil Anderson. Break free today from the lies of the enemy by understanding who you are in Christ Jesus. You'll be amazed and blessed when you learn the THRUTH about God's goodness. May the lord bless you.

Healing of past wounds and experiencing future victory.

In Victory over the Darkness, Neil Anderson provides a guide for healing of past wounds and for experiencing future victory. In Victory over the Darkness Dr. Anderson doesn't suggest change through behavior modification or external rules and regulation. Instead he gets to the issue of living according to our identity in Christ. His sections on healing past wounds and how to continue on the journey of spiritual maturity were very good. I appreciate that this book on emotional health was based on theology and not psychology. I believe it is a good, practical tool for the pastor and for the Christian mental health professional. While the book was strong in emphasizing our new identity in Christ, I felt it was weak in exposing the depravity of self. I've found that until a person abandons all hope in the self-life they will have difficulty rejecting it for their new life in Christ. This book would be a good book to read in tandem with Christ-Esteem by Don Matzat. I see them as being an effective balance for each other.
