Swords and Shadows: Navigating Youth Amidst the Wiles of Satan (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781961721128)

God loves you. You should know this already. Satan hates you. Did you know that? Perhaps you understand this simply from living in this world, even if you have not heard it preached to you. Satan hates you and, with all the demons, is dedicating his existence to bringing your life into ruin. Sorry, but it's true, and you need to know, as I wish I had known when I was young. We are in a spiritual battle with Satan and his demons. God, however, is fighting with and for us, and His grace and strength are unmatched, and will appear in our lives in miraculous ways.

I wasn't born with a sword in my hand, but I wish I had been. It would have spared me a lot of pain. Not only would I have known, in my youth, that I was being attacked and provoked by Satan to reject God and embrace a life of sin, but I would have also known that the Church has a storehouse of spiritual weapons and is eagerly trying to get them into my hands. Unarmed, I turned away from God and embraced a worldly life which led to misery and pain - until God appeared and changed the story.

As a high school Theology teacher, I have desired to give the real Truth to my students. I pray this book accomplishes the same. Let your eyes be opened. See the truth about your life and let Christ set you free from the dragon and his shadows.
