Isaac Ambrose
In this timely and insightful work, Isaac Ambrose entreats Christians not to slumber in the midst of battle. He presents the danger of the forces working against Christians—sin, Satan, the world, and the flesh. Be edified by Ambrose’s instructions and warnings as he reveals from Scripture the tools and weapons God has given believers to fight against spiritual adversaries. Learn how the armor of God is not merely for decoration but rather for use. Ambrose calls for determined obedience, steadfastness, and confidence in Christ, who has already won the great battle.
“Our contemporary culture, saturated by scientific rationalism, frequently tends to ignore the reality of the powers of evil and darkness. This Puritan classic takes Ephesians 6:12 seriously and teaches that battle with the devil still rages today. Isaac Ambrose’s small but dynamic, packed treatise offers readers practical directions and helpful spiritual disciplines to face the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Most importantly, The Christian Warrior will help you cling to Jesus as your only reliable defense.”
