The Christian in Complete Armour

Resumen del Editor

Put on your armor - it’s time to fight. We are in a spiritual war, William Gurnall reminds us, and “the Christian’s safety lies in resisting. All the armour provided is to defend the Christian fighting, none to secure him flying; stand, and the day is ours; fly or yield, and all is lost".

This hard-hitting volume is packed with biblical wisdom for day-to-day Christian living, as helpful today as it was when first published nearly 400 years ago. Although history left us little knowledge of William Gurnall’s life, it preserved this book - a legacy that has encouraged many generations of saints to fight sin, love Christ, and live holy and faithful lives as Christians who have clothed themselves in the complete armor of God.

William Gurnall (1616 - 79) was born in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Cambridge University. From 1644 until his death, he served as rector of St. Peter and St. Paul’s Church, Lavenham, Suffolk.

So good

If you can’t tackle the book in its entirety, read through this book of excerpts to take it in smaller bites. Absolutely worth it.

wow.

I really loved this book. There are so many quotables in this! I did speed it up a bit because I found myself getting distracted by my thoughts inspired by things that were said. very thought provoking book. it challenges you to really think. I will definitely be listening to it again and possibly even taking notes next time.

Up to date and relevant

We tend to think ourselves very sophisticated and wise. A quick listen to this 350+ year old work will quickly inform you that not only has man not changed over time but these sins, problems, foibles and the solutions have been known since antiquity. If anything, he's more wise and sophisticated than our modern age.

So good

So many great insights. I wanted to pick this up before working through his complete works. Glad I did!

Condensed wisdom

It has so much in a few sentences tuntil it says that I need to buy the printed copy. But the audio is worth it too.

Wisdom

An incredible collection of profound thoughts articulated with clarity. Ideal listening for the Christian seeking the armor of God and for a warrior fighting the modern cultural war. Brilliant.

A great listen and wisdomly truths

Narration was very good. This is an easy book to listen to, full of godly wisdom from the Word.

The truth of GOD’s word and work.

I wanted to listen to this book after hearing Pastor Jack Hibbs recommended it. Thank you Pastor Hibbs. I’ve been believing I was walking in step with Jesus, not so! I’ve picked up so much teaching and discipline that will strengthen my walk with my Savior.

must read for every Christian

This is the most convicting book I have read and that gives a clear application for a believer in Christ. This is a must read for the pastor and new Christian alike.

This is worth the price or a credit

I own a copy of the full text volume of this work and this abridged version is excellently performed. Don't let the short reading time fool you. The quality of the material in audible format is exceptional for devotional purposes. Chapters are approximately 10 minutes in length. A short biography precedes the sections of content. I guarantee you will listen to this multiple times. Such true instruction and wisdom is hard to find and rarely as visceral as Gurnall makes it. Bless yourself and your family and community with it.
