The Warfare of the Spirit: Religious Ritual Versus the Presence of the Indwelling Christ

By A.W. Tozer

The life of a Christian is packed full of conflict . The Warfare of the Spirit discusses the persistent struggle against the evil forces of the world, the flesh, and even the deceiving ways of Satan. Breaking down the spiritual warfare that is going on all around us, in both the physical and spiritual realms, Tozer examines many aspects of the human experience that can potentially damage us spiritually--like concerns about money, social status, conflict with others, or even confusing the meaning Christmas. Tozer also unapologetically states the dangers of adhering to a theology that absolves the unbeliever of any punishment. For if there is no hell, he warns, there is no heaven either. Beginning this book with a triumphant call to battle, A. W. Tozer inspires the believer to seek and destroy the evil forces working in this world. This book empowers its reader to eradicate complacency and sloth and live actively for the Lord every day.

Warfare of the Spirit

Sadly this book is out of print. One would think that when a masterpiece is presented to us we would protect it. Tozer has written a message to the established church and the inner church. There is no doubt in my mind which one rejected the message. Warfare is quite possibly the most needed secular book of the times (then or now). A rating of 5 is quite low on a scale of 0-5. I am ashamed as I read this book but exhilerated at the forgiveness GOD offers us. SO SO sad that we use HIS forgiveness as liscense to continue on in our weakness rather then growing in HIS SPIRIT.

Another brillant and always timely book from Tozer.

There is great reading to be found within the many short chapters of this book. "Eating the Locoweed" is one of my favourites. A.W. Tozer had a way of taking a simple sentence and making the truth of it hit hard. An example from "Eternal Retribution - A Bible Doctrine" : "The man who will not believe in hell must surrender his right to believe in heaven". Tozer's books stand in stark contrast to the writings of many today; John Shelby Spong, Robert Funk et al. The masses cling to anything that will "prove" a man right and God wrong. One finds no such foolishness and blasphemy with Tozer thankfully.
