    About this ebook

    There is joy and triumph in the Christian life. The eternal God loves us and calls us to the highest good that we can enjoy. But that goal is achieved only by a fight.
    In this classic guide to the Christian life, John White introduces the key areas in which we must wrestle time and again, including prayer and Bible study, faith and temptation, relationships and holiness. He lets us see our enemies: the spirit of the age, our own sinful nature, and the powers of darkness. And he gives us the encouragement to persevere in the battle.
    New Christians who read this book will take their first steps in Christian living with confidence. Established disciples will find refreshing insights into the struggles and joys of life in Christ.

      John White brings us advice and insights from the battlefield. He contends that the Christian life is not a passive affair, but a battle from beginning to end against a strong and cunning adversary. Establishing a relationship with Christ makes us an enemy to this adversary who knows our weak and unprotected flanks. Other subjects deal with faith, holiness, deliverance from drudgery and guidance. Written in a clear, easily understood style.
