Publisher's summary

Get out of your own way.

Whether you recognize it or not, you're at war with yourself. There's anxiety. Selfishness. Self-sabotaging tendencies. Narcissism. The black dog of depression. The inability to do the great things you long to do because you spend so many hours mindlessly drifting through the Internet.

It is war, but all is not lost. You can win - if you choose to engage.

In I Declare War, Levi Lusko candidly shares about his struggles with moodiness, bullying, suicidal thoughts, night terrors, and difficulty managing himself. He identifies four weapons you have at your disposal - thoughts, words, behaviors, and power - and illustrates how to use them to achieve ongoing victory. These practical tools from God’s Word will help you learn to:

• Retaliate against your anxiety by filling your heart with truth and making it inhospitable to terror
• Stop being victimized by your bad behaviors and become the victor you were born to be.
• Overcome self-imposed isolation by learning to think right so you can live right.
• Spare your family unnecessary heartache by confronting your dysfunction so they don’t have to.

It’s time to stop being your own worst enemy. Declare war and become the person, the spouse, the parent, and the leader God intended you to be.

Critic reviews

“We are all created in the image of God. We don’t have be chained by our feelings. We don’t have to do the things we don’t want to do. We don’t have to be defined by our failures, mistakes, or sin. This is powerful! Yet how often do we not live based on this truth? One of the reasons I admire and respect Levi is his transparency and search for truth. He doesn’t shy away from the hard or ugly stuff. Through his own story, he strives to help others get out of their own way and into the truth of who they are in God. This book will help you do just that!” (Tim Tebow, Heisman Trophy winner and New York Times best-selling author)

“Levi personally understands that the hardest battle is the one we’re fighting against ourselves. That’s why I’m so thankful he’s poured out the biblical wisdom he’s gained along the way into the pages of this book. The practical tools, scriptural teaching, and trusted guidance found in I Declare War are invaluable to anyone who wants to embrace victory in their own life!” (Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times best-selling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries)

Powerful message

I was so blown away by this book that I devoured it. Thank you SO MUCH for this book. I had to order the study guide to go with it. Powerful message I am so thankful to have.

Personal

Thank you Levi for keeping it real. I appreciate your vulnerability and how you always keep
It so REAL! Anxiety is no joke and some times I felt as though since I am a Christian pastor I need to keep things quiet. Your book as inspired me to keep it real myself. Thank you!

very good book. I highly recommend.

very good book. I highly recommend. I was sad when it was over. I did a lot of highlighting.

I can see why my church is reading this!

I can see why my church is reading this as a congregation. it is mostly good is some very good truths. chapter 4 and 8 hit me pretty hard but there are some strange references that seem out of place and I lost focus. my suggestion is read this book slowly. though you could finish it in one day take it at a chapter at a time. implementat what the author is saying and mediate on God's words.

A wonderful book for those wanting to win in life

The author has a very personal understanding of the terror by night and the strength needed to control the strongest muscle in the body, our tongue.
He has very concrete solutions for the 4 areas he covers. He uses interesting and visually entertaining stories of how and why to learn and do the things he suggests. He provides a path to follow and generously written directions with examples of the outcomes.
This book is a very good read!

Authentic

Pastor Lusko is refreshing. His transparency encourages me. I listened twice to make sure I really heard it.

One of the best books I have ever read!

This book is amazing! How you think and how you act are so very powerful to the life you lead! All you can control in this life is yourself! And the only one who can help you do that is God! Levi Lusko breaks it down & helps you do that best! He is so authentic and just the right amount of funny in the process! GREAT book, a MUST read!

To make this short and sweet I just want to say thank you! And god bless!

Wow. So much more than I expected.

I started out not sure this book was for me because I didn't feel the first few chapters really applied but I'm so glad I hung in there. The second half of the book certainly applied to me and I'm blessed that I finished it. I enjoyed the stories the author told and appreciate his down to earth style and 21st century connections. I realize Jezebel did not "jump on Instagram" when Elijah killed the prophets of Baal but she would have if she was alive today. Anyway, the book was well worth the credit and the time and I'm encouraging other family members to read/listen to it. I may even give them a copy and listen to this one again myself.

Life changing.

This book solidified things I’ve learned, but put it in ways that stuck with me. Incredible writing. Incredible message. Great reading of it by the man himself. I couldn’t recommend it enough.
