","text":"This book is excellent. To be honest I had no idea where to begin with writing a review. So I went back to the book and copied my highlighted texts from the introduction and first chapter to give you a taste. To begin with we have: &quot;First, belief in Satan&#039;s existence and activity is today widely dismissed as an outdated superstition. As a result, most Catholics hear very little about him, leaving them unprepared to understand and defeat him. They need to know their Enemy and his strategies.&quot; Having been involved in university campus ministry for over 20 years this statement is true not only of most Catholics but also most non-Catholic Christians. From there Paul states: &quot;The first part of this book lays out the biblical and theological foundations for our warfare with the Devil. The second part offers aids for the battle: Church documents, scriptural texts, words and anecdotes from the saints, prayers and hymns, and further resources for study.&quot; It absolutely lives up to that goal. I have already read this book twice and know I plan on reading it again.\r\n\r\nOne of the mail goals of the book sis &quot;Our hope is that countless Catholics, and other Christians as well, will find this manual so helpful that they will carry it with them and make frequent use of it. For this reason, the book has been produced in a sturdy, compact edition that allows you to keep it handy and refer to it often.&quot; And I honestly believe it will do that. I have already recommended it to a number of Catholics and other Christians for I know it will be an invaluable tool in their life and ministry.\r\n\r\n&quot;Like it or not, you are at war.&quot; Every time I see this it stirs something in me. To be in a war and be unaware of it will only lead to failure. There have been many quotes about the church being a field hospital for wounded hurting people. This book can server as a weapon for those on the front lines, and those helping to tend the wounded. We are the army of Christ but our biggest responsibility is to support the field hospital. And on that same note &quot;God allows evil because He&#039;s powerful enough to bring out of even the greatest evil a much greater good.&quot; God can work all things for our good and to fulfil his plans.\r\n\r\nThe last quote I will leave you with is from the end of the first chapter. &quot;Meanwhile, our days in this life provide a season for God to test, purify, strengthen, and perfect us, making us fit to live with Him forever in heaven. To that end, the demons serve as useful tools for Him as they constantly test us by tempting us, so that we become purer and stronger and closer to perfection every time we resist the temptation.&quot; Those are just a few of the gems from the first few sections of the book. The Contents of the book are:\r\n\r\nHow to Use This Manual\r\nPart One: Preparing for Battle\r\n\r\n1. Know Your Enemy\r\n2. Know Your Battle\r\n3. Know Your Commander and Comrades\r\n4. Know Your Weapons\r\n5. Know Your Armor\r\n6. Keep the Enemy out of the Camp\r\n\r\nPart Two: Aids in Battle\r\n\r\n7. Church Teaching About Spiritual Warfare\r\nFrom Catechisms\r\nFrom Church Councils\r\nFrom Papal Documents\r\n8. Scriptures for the Battle\r\nScriptural Names and Images for the Devil and Demons\r\nIncidents in Scripture Involving the Devil and Demons\r\nScripture Verses for Warfare\r\n9. Help From the Saints\r\nWords From the Saints\r\nSpiritual Warfare in the Lives of the Saints\r\n10. Prayers, Devotions, and Hymns for Battle\r\nPrayers to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit\r\nThe Blood of Jesus\r\nLitany of Christ Our Champion\r\nThe Name of Jesus\r\nPrayers to Our Lady, Vanquisher of the Enemy\r\nRosary Meditations for Spiritual Battle\r\nPrayers to the Saints and With the Saints\r\nPrayers to the Angels and to God for Their Assistance\r\nPrayers for the Church\r\nPrayers for the Family and Home\r\nPrayers With Sacramentals\r\nPrayers From Traditional Liturgies\r\nPrayers for Strength and Deliverance\r\nScriptural Prayers for Deliverance\r\nHymns for Spiritual Warfare\r\nFor Further Study\r\n\r\nI cannot recommend this book enough for anyone wishing to go deeper in the spiritual life. As soon as you pursue God and his will you will encounter opposition. This book will help you understand that opposition and strengthen you and provide tools and knowledge to stand against it. Be bold. Follow Chris and stand firm!\r\n\r\nThis is an amazing book you need to read it!","date":"Dec 26th 2023"},{"name":"Mary Louise Wallin","rating":"5","title":"This book is treasure filled with prayers, scripture to use dail","text":"I am so pleased I bought this book, full of information, a good resource.","date":"Sep 11th 2023"}]},"can_purchase":false,"meta_description":"Discover the profound insights of \"Read Manual for Spiritual Warfare,\" a Catholic book that guides you through spiritual battles with faith and wisdom.","category":["Parish Resources/Gifts","Parish Resources/Gifts/Manual"],"meta_keywords":"catholics and the devil,christian temptation,spiritual battle","AddThisServiceButtonMeta":"","main_image":{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1458/16395/manual-for-spiritual-warfare__91881.1746293352.jpg?c=1","alt":" Manual for Spiritual Warfare "},"add_to_wishlist_url":"/wishlist.php?action=add&product_id=1458","num_reviews":36,"weight":"0.50 LBS","custom_fields":[{"id":"51821","name":"Author","value":"Paul Thigpen, PhD"},{"id":"51823","name":"Imprint","value":"TAN Books"},{"id":"51827","name":"Pages","value":"336"},{"id":"51830","name":"Publication Date","value":"9/4/2014"},{"id":"51831","name":"Product Format","value":"Deluxe Leatherette"},{"id":"51834","name":"Pdf","value":"https://tanbooks.com/content/Preview_ManualForSpiritualWarfare.pdf"},{"id":"74224","name":"atc-product","value":"1719"},{"id":"74226","name":"atc-product","value":"3193"},{"id":"74229","name":"atc-product","value":"3761"},{"id":"74231","name":"cpu-product","value":"1221"},{"id":"74234","name":"cpu-product","value":"4232"},{"id":"74241","name":"cpu-product","value":"3002"}],"sku":"2393","backorder_availability_prompt":"More available for backorder","url":"https://tanparish.com/products/books/manual-for-spiritual-warfare/","description":"<style>\n /* Scoped to only this description box */\n #tan-product-description h2,\n #tan-product-description h3 {\n font-family: 'Crimson Pro', serif !important;\n color: #870000 !important;\n }\n </style>\n<section id=\"tan-product-description\" style=\"font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; color: #262626;\"><!-- Title -->\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 2.5rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;\">Manual for Spiritual Warfare</h2>\n<!-- Author/Publisher -->\n<p style=\"margin: .25rem 0; font-size: .9rem; color: #555;\">By Paul Thigpen, PhD &middot; Published by TAN Books</p>\n<!-- Overview -->\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">Overview</h3>\n<p>This guide equips the faithful to recognize, resist, and overcome spiritual attacks by explaining who the enemy is, what weapons and armor the Christian possesses, and how to remain steadfast in the fight of faith, rooted in the teaching of Scripture and the Church&rsquo;s tradition.

Overview

This guide equips the faithful to recognize, resist, and overcome spiritual attacks by explaining who the enemy is, what weapons and armor the Christian possesses, and how to remain steadfast in the fight of faith, rooted in the teaching of Scripture and the Church’s tradition.

    Excellent

    Posted by John T Turner on Nov 28th 2024

    Very easy to read and comprehend Extremely well organized and put together. I’ve got quite a library of Catholic books (100+) and if I had to reduce it to only 10 this would be one of my keepers.

    Resisting the devil

    Posted by Steven J Rajca on Feb 10th 2024

    Because of what the MANUAL FOR SPIRITUAL WARFARE says about the devil, I have decided to say this prayer every day: MAY JESUS CHRIST CONVERT THOSE WHO WANT TO LOVE HIM ARDENTLY INTO INDIVIDUALS WHO RESIST THE DEVIL.

    Amazing book.

    Posted by Steven McEvoy on Dec 26th 2023

    This book is excellent. To be honest I had no idea where to begin with writing a review. So I went back to the book and copied my highlighted texts from the introduction and first chapter to give you a taste. To begin with we have: "First, belief in Satan's existence and activity is today widely dismissed as an outdated superstition. As a result, most Catholics hear very little about him, leaving them unprepared to understand and defeat him. They need to know their Enemy and his strategies." Having been involved in university campus ministry for over 20 years this statement is true not only of most Catholics but also most non-Catholic Christians. From there Paul states: "The first part of this book lays out the biblical and theological foundations for our warfare with the Devil. The second part offers aids for the battle: Church documents, scriptural texts, words and anecdotes from the saints, prayers and hymns, and further resources for study." It absolutely lives up to that goal. I have already read this book twice and know I plan on reading it again. One of the mail goals of the book sis "Our hope is that countless Catholics, and other Christians as well, will find this manual so helpful that they will carry it with them and make frequent use of it. For this reason, the book has been produced in a sturdy, compact edition that allows you to keep it handy and refer to it often." And I honestly believe it will do that. I have already recommended it to a number of Catholics and other Christians for I know it will be an invaluable tool in their life and ministry. "Like it or not, you are at war." Every time I see this it stirs something in me. To be in a war and be unaware of it will only lead to failure. There have been many quotes about the church being a field hospital for wounded hurting people. This book can server as a weapon for those on the front lines, and those helping to tend the wounded. We are the army of Christ but our biggest responsibility is to support the field hospital. And on that same note "God allows evil because He's powerful enough to bring out of even the greatest evil a much greater good." God can work all things for our good and to fulfil his plans. The last quote I will leave you with is from the end of the first chapter. "Meanwhile, our days in this life provide a season for God to test, purify, strengthen, and perfect us, making us fit to live with Him forever in heaven. To that end, the demons serve as useful tools for Him as they constantly test us by tempting us, so that we become purer and stronger and closer to perfection every time we resist the temptation." Those are just a few of the gems from the first few sections of the book. The Contents of the book are: How to Use This Manual Part One: Preparing for Battle 1. Know Your Enemy 2. Know Your Battle 3. Know Your Commander and Comrades 4. Know Your Weapons 5. Know Your Armor 6. Keep the Enemy out of the Camp Part Two: Aids in Battle 7. Church Teaching About Spiritual Warfare From Catechisms From Church Councils From Papal Documents 8. Scriptures for the Battle Scriptural Names and Images for the Devil and Demons Incidents in Scripture Involving the Devil and Demons Scripture Verses for Warfare 9. Help From the Saints Words From the Saints Spiritual Warfare in the Lives of the Saints 10. Prayers, Devotions, and Hymns for Battle Prayers to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit The Blood of Jesus Litany of Christ Our Champion The Name of Jesus Prayers to Our Lady, Vanquisher of the Enemy Rosary Meditations for Spiritual Battle Prayers to the Saints and With the Saints Prayers to the Angels and to God for Their Assistance Prayers for the Church Prayers for the Family and Home Prayers With Sacramentals Prayers From Traditional Liturgies Prayers for Strength and Deliverance Scriptural Prayers for Deliverance Hymns for Spiritual Warfare For Further Study I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone wishing to go deeper in the spiritual life. As soon as you pursue God and his will you will encounter opposition. This book will help you understand that opposition and strengthen you and provide tools and knowledge to stand against it. Be bold. Follow Chris and stand firm! This is an amazing book you need to read it!
