Book Review: Spirit Wars by Kris Vallotton

How often do we take the spirit realm for granted, not giving it nary a second thought? We joke and say, "Well, the devil made me do it!" Is this really a joke? Is there really an enemy who is dead serious about destroying your life and your eternal soul?

The book, Spirit Wars, Winning the Invisible Battle Against Sin and the Enemy, is a book addressing the enemy and the horde of his forces which wage war against your life and your soul. Author, Kris Vallotton opens his heart and shares his life experiences in fighting the forces of the enemy of the soul.

I like the title the author gives to the second chapter of the book, Are You Living In A Haunted House? This question brings clearly to light the concept of the death of the "old man", the sin nature. it gets right to the heart of the saying, "the devil made me do it."

Spirit Wars, Winning the Invisible Battle Against Sin and the Enemy brings to mind Ephesians 6:12, "We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world (Contemporary English Version)." Kris Vallotton exposes the deceptive work of the enemy and arms the Christian warrior with the knowledge needed to wage a victorious war against him.

The author writes in a manner which is very readable. He presents the many concepts, facts, plans, and weapons of this warfare so they are easily understandable. He even provides a chapter dealing with generational curses.

The realm of the spirit is a frightening place. Spirit Wars, Winning the Invisible Battle Against Sin and the Enemy will not alleviate the fear, but it will give the reader insight, encouragement, and knowledge of what must be done to withstand the deceptions, the traps, and the attacks of the enemy until we stand victorious with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I recommend this book to any interested in learning more about the spiritual realm.
