Spiritual Warfare for Women by Leighann McCoy is a book
written by someone who really knows how to do some battle as the stories that
Leighann shares from her own life really help to show the reader that this isn’t
just a pie- in- the- sky book, but one written by someone whose battled it out
in the trenches and lived to tell about it.
As I first picked up the book and read the introduction I almost said,
maybe I won’t read this book after all because if my experience is like that of
the authors then maybe I might want to skip some battles and keep things easy,
but it turns out that I pressed on and read the book and I’m glad I did, even
with the battles that I am facing, but at least I am better prepared.
The book is divided
up into 4 sections. The first is
exploring the great love of God and how that impacts our lives, followed by
section 2 where the enemy and his tactics are explored. Part 3 explores the Targets that the enemy
tries to get at us with- our marriages, children, friendships, health, church,
etc. And lastly in part 4 is finding
Victory in Christ through our standing in Him and why we have nothing to
fear. I truly appreciated all of the
great scripture mentioned at the end of every chapter with great ideas for
different tricks with how to commit them to memory. My absolute favorite part of the book was at
the end where the author points out 5 stones with which to do battle against
the enemy with. Just like David against
Goliath she delves into what those stones are and how they can help you to
stand against the enemy- perseverance, faith, confidence, etc.
This is one of those books that will stay on my shelf so
that I can refer back to it again and again.
I am a woman of God, wife, mother, friend and ministry worker who wants
to be fully armed for battle and this book helps me to be ready to do just
that.
4 out of 5 stars
I was given a complimentary copy of this book for review
purposes by the publisher. The review
written was my opinion and I was not required to write positive review.
