Savannah Micheals is a dedicated believer and disciple of Jesus Christ who has a strong desire to encourage others in their faith about salvation and the gospel message. She has served in the Social Services, Mental Health and Addictions profession for the past 30 years and utilizes her knowledge and experience when exploring the sufferings and struggles of humanity. Savannah has written this book for the purpose of inspiring and encouraging others to confront and overcome the destructive and self- defeating strategies of the "enemy of their souls". This is a spiritual "self-help" book that will assist Christians and non-Christians alike with the exploration of their faith and belief in God. This book will expose the tactics of the devil in his attempts to destroy a Christian's spiritual walk with Jesus Christ and provide "spiritual weapons of warfare" that will defeat the devil and enable a Christian to walk victoriously "in Christ".

Dr. Wiersbe zeroes in on Satan's attacks as deceiver, destroyer, ruler, and accuser. He emphasizes that conquering the enemy comes by obeying God's truth.

God the Father, Jesus Christ (God the Son), and the Holy Spirit make up the Godhead who have been in existence since eternity past. They constitute the Divine Trinity, consisting of three distinct persons working in unity. They then created the heavens and the earth (out of nothing) in the dateless past. Among their creations were angels and pre-Adam beings. One of the chief angels created by God was called Lucifer. He was an anointed cherub, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. He was made ruler of the earth and was perfect in his walk until iniquity was found in him. He became proud, exalted himself, and wanted to be like the Most High (God). This iniquity that originated from his heart led him to rebel against God, making him the originator of sin. He then slandered God, causing numerous angels and the pre-Adam beings of the earth to join him in the rebellion against God. He and the rebellious angels were thrown out of heaven by God, and he lost his position as ruler of the earth, which had been destroyed as a result of the rebellion. Lucifer became Satan (adversary) or the devil. God recreated the heavens and the earth (universe) and formed man to rule over all the earth. The universe formed by God was again perfect. Since Satan's rebellion, his main goal has been to incite all beings to join him in rebelling against God. To achieve such objective, he uses various strategies, tactics, and methods to cause man to join him in rebelling against God. The strategies, tactics, and methods that Satan uses to deceive human beings are largely similar. It is, therefore, important for us to understand them so that we can effectively resist him. That has been the focus of this book. Beginning with the causes of Lucifer's sin, we have examined his strategies and tactics as he has applied them on some selected persons in the course of history. These include his encounters with Adam and Eve, Job, Jesus Christ, and Paul the apostle. The aim of this approach has been to identify Satan's strategies, tactics, and methods which he employs as his tools of warfare against human beings. Such knowledge will help us resist him.

God's soldiers are under attack by Satan through sickness and disease. Many sit like Job with the mentality that God has forsaken them. Due to a lack of knowledge of what is included in the Atonement, some believe that their sickness and disease is the will of God. Why is there so little difficulty believing that we have freedom from sin's power in the Atonement, and so much controversy believing that it includes freedom from the power of sickness and disease? God has impressed my heart that his soldiers are settling for less than what he has promised in his word. Many are deficient in a knowledge of Scripture. Others have been taught wrong doctrine and are ignorant of God's promises (which belong to his children). This book is meant to give the understanding that it is God's will for us to recognize what the devil is doing and overcome his lies by faith. The Holy Spirit has been trying to set the captive free from sickness and disease, but wrong doctrine, misunderstanding of Scripture, and medical science have God's soldiers tormented by Satan's lies. This book addresses the devil's lies and is meant to once and for all set the captive free.

Dr. Sherlin has worked diligently to show the importance of elder rule. What he has done is restore us to sound principles that come straight from the Bible. His book is a must for every assembly that wants to remain strong rather than go the way of the culture. I cannot recommend his book enough. Dr. Mal Couch In this work, the author sets out the biblical case for congregations being ruled by a plurality of Godly men, known as elders. This work is meticulously footnoted and documented making it an invaluable resource for the layman and scholar alike. Dr. Andy Woods Keith writes in a manner that is precise and with a fluidity of understanding of current day church leadership. The tone of his writing is shared in love and there are no judgmental undertones that permeate his thoughts. I would wholly recommend this reading to all who profess Christ as their Lord. Pamela Rogers Dr. Keith has presented a solid case for authoritative leadership in the church. His book is a call for us to return to biblical leadership and be presbyters instead of politicians. Dr. C.V. Varnado Do you believe that your local assembly is full of conflict, confusion, and/or compromise? Are you familiar with the strategy of Satan and his methods to undermine the grace, love, and truth of Christ's body? This work makes a clear and convincing case that many problems in congregations occur because the body has adopted a flawed foundation of church government and doctrine that is more political than biblical. How much or to what degree has Satan made inroads into your spiritual family and leadership body? Read and judge for yourself and if necessary seek to apply the prescribed remedy to the problem.

This book contains a fascinating blend of biblical information, revelation from the author, and spiritual teaching about Satan's strategies against believers. It includes answers to important questions about Satan and tools readers can use to defeat his plans and purposes.

In a day when society has in many ways placed itself under Satan’s rule, when Satanism is flourishing in Western nations, when certain branches of the church are preoccupied with “deliverance ministries,” and when others deny the devil’s existence, Fighting Satan is a sober, practical perspective on this vital subject. Joel R. Beeke states, “We must know our enemy. We must know how to withstand him and what spiritual weapons to take up against him. We must defeat him by faith through lives that bear fruit and spread the truth.” With questions for reflection and discussion at the close of each chapter, Fighting Satan is ideal for group and individual Bible study.
