In all discord in our homes, the ultimate enemy is not your spouse, your children, their biological parents, their former foster parents, DSS, the school district, or anyone else. Satan is the ultimate enemy. He has the destruction of God's people as one of his ultimate goals, and the family, as the primary unit of God's good design for his children, is Satan's number one target.

Your home is a battleground for spiritual warfare. For many Christians, spiritual warfare is more of a fairy tale drawn in comic book style on large boards, the scenes depicted in the local "hell house," or the stuff that missionaries to the Congo experience. But spiritual warfare is a reality in your family and mine. The purpose of this book is to equip you to engage in spiritual warfare for and with your family. To do so, you must first understand a little bit about spiritual warfare.

Spiritual warfare is a reality, and just as it impacts your personal life and your local church, it profoundly affects your family. This book equips you to take action-because losing is not an option. Fighting For Your Family is written from a biblical perspective by a pastor who is also a husband and a father, actively engaged in the same battles as his readers. With authentic stories, clear biblical perspective, and a touch of humor, this book provides adaptable strategies for individuals and couples. The book's structure enables brief, focused reading and discussion, and the practical applications provide valuable wisdom and suggestions for incorporating rhythms and routines into everyday family life.
