The Perpetual Battle by Simon Vibert
Through the joys and sorrows of life, we can often lose sight of what the Bible has assured us: we are at war, and must be ready, continually standing firm against the world, the Devil and even our own flesh. The Perpetual Battle is a training manual, helping us know our enemy and understand what it means to live in enemy–occupied territory as we learn to fight the good fight.A war is being waged, a war against an internal foe, an external foe, and an ultimate foeIf Christians fail to realize that, we will find ourselves casualties on the battlefields of personal discipleship, cultural skirmishes, and cosmic conflict. This book is a call to arms and a strategy manual. Read it, equip yourself, and fight the good fight.
-- N. Clayton Croy (Professor of New Testament, Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Columbus, Ohio)The Christian pursuit of holiness is a daily battle and a lifelong war. This practical guide brings plenty of wisdom, distilled from the spiritual classics of previous eras. It is accessible, biblical, realistic, and wonderfully encouraging.
-- Andrew Atherstone (Tutor in History and Doctrine, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford)The book is clear, well organized and well researched. In each of the three main sections he considers the Biblical material, significant writers on the subject, and practical application. This is a book to buy – and to put into practice!
-- Michael Green (Distinguished Lecturer in Evangelism and Apologetics, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford)The Perpetual Battle provides us the insights and tools to ready ourselves for battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil. It helps us see the subtle influences and manipulations of the enemy— both within and without. The Perpetual Battle is a needed resource in our time, more than ever before.

-- Richard Bewes (OBE (1939 – 2019), formerly of All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, England)Simon Vibert sounds the trumpet to call us to arms. Even better, he equips us with strategies and tactics drawn from a variety of Christian writers who understood that our greatest enemies are the ones we cannot see.
-- Joel R. Beeke (Chancellor, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan)Vibert takes a truthful, realistic and encouraging approach to making it through this battle of faith, helping readers to implement redemptive strategies and to recognize who leads and ultimately aids us to win the smaller skirmishes as well as the bigger battles of the Christian life.
