Christians already have victory over the world through Jesus, but Satan picks a fight with believers nonetheless, tempting them with the influences of the world in an effort to steal God's glory. Indeed, the battle rages on, but the nature of the enemy is baldly exposed in Spiritual Warfare, helping readers better understand feelings of resentment, anger, doubt, pride, and adversity for what they really are: fiery darts of deception.
Written by International Mission Board president Jerry Rankin, who has witnessed spiritual warfare at work around the world, the book in turn becomes an inspiring guide to the Spirit-filled life, illuminating spiritual disciplines that equip us for victory including prayer, Bible study, fasting, Sabbath observance, active church membership, and praising God in all things.

Jerry Rankin and his wife, Bobbye, spent twenty-three years as missionaries in Asia until he became International Mission Board president in 1993. Today, he leads the board with a vision of missionaries, churches, and volunteers partnering to take the gospel to all peoples. Rankin earned a bachelor’s degree from Mississippi College and his master of divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. The Rankins live in Richmond, VA.
If anybody knows that servants of God are in a furious battle with an unseen enemy, my friends Jerry and Bobbye Rankin do. If anybody knows that the enemy will do anything he can to halt kingdom work, my friends Jerry and Bobbye Rankin do. And if any two people know how to brush themselves off after an unexpected assault then stand back to their feet with twice the power, my friends Jerry and Bobbye Rankin do. As the day-in, day-out leader of an army of several thousand missionaries mobilized around the globe, Dr. Rankin is in a very unique position to tell people like you and me what God is doing around the world. From and eyes-on, hands-on perspective, he can also tell us what Satan is doing to try to stop Him. As much as anyone I’ve ever met, Dr. Rankin knows this battle is real and what it takes to be consistently victorious. He is an experienced warrior in this worthy fight. He knows what works. He knows what doesn’t. He also knows the roles of love and forgiveness, without which Jesus assured us a kingdom divides and falls. Of all things I love best about the Rankins, this is chief: they are rock solid in doctrine but not stifled or stuffy in how they live it out. They’re all about Jesus and how He reaches the hearts, saves and fortifies the lives of real people.

Reviewed by Ann Horton (Madison, MS), June 30, 2009 A friend loaned me a copy of this book during a time I was experiencing my own spiritual warfare. I now own two, one to keep and one to share. Furthermore, this should be required reading for anyone going on a mission trip. Jerry Rankin's style is easy to read. His message is straight forward and encouraging. This is the best book I've read in longer than I can identify. Write a review of Spiritual Warfare: The Battle for God's Glory
