Resumen del Editor

Today, far too many leading Christians water down the robust teachings of our faith. Ignoring Christ's clear example and constant demand that we boldly confront evils, they preach an amicable, nonconfrontational, feel-good gospel. Instead of teaching the faithful to edify and enjoin the wayward, they urge them to pacify and submit...with catastrophic results personally, for the church, and for society at large.

Now comes Fr. Dwight Longenecker with this potent audiobook that shows how, by engaging in the lost art of spiritual warfare, good Christians can cure this trend and repair the extensive damage it has caused.

Here, without fear or favor, Longenecker maps out the myriad places where evil lurks in our world, shines a light on its many faces, and details the countless clever tricks it uses to hide. He delineates 10 sturdy principles that must motivate all Christian warriors who hope to expunge evil and stop it from returning. And finally, he explains in fascinating detail the art of immortal combat, showing how self-sacrifice and contemplation of the Cross can bring victory over any evil, no matter how hidden or how grave.

Be forewarned: This audiobook calls you to sanctity and is not for wimps. For sanctity is impossible apart from heroic virtue, and heroic virtue is impossible apart from spiritual warfare. As Fr. Longenecker puts it, find a saint, and you'll find a warrior.

These sections are a mighty guidebook for souls hungry to follow the way of the Christian warrior by taking up their crosses and following into immortal combat the king of the Universe, Jesus Christ, our lord.

Essential Reading

I've listened to this book repeatedly. It's content is essential for understanding humanity and life.

listened twice

demons are real yet compared to some mythical characters. The Mass is a sacrifice.

Reality in a short, imaginatively-written book.

Man! That was one of the best books I’ve ever read. It was like smacking hard into the brick wall of reality. So much makes sense now—about myself, my family, relationships, religion, history, politics, our country, the world. I think I’ll listen to it again right away, because I don’t ever want to view things the old false way again. Sincere thanks to the author and his Author for this powerful, uncomfortable, much-needed book.

A bit odd

Usually, I love the books from this publisher, but this one was quite strange. I’m not sure that it could be called Catholic. It’s an enthusiastic attempt at a hybrid of popular novels, mythology, and Christianity. The author’s views were not credible to me. His definition of pride seemed original and yet preposterous. The narration by the author was a mistake.
