When Dragons War - Erikson, Susan E.

. .

Résumé :
As Christ-followers, we are at war. Paul tells us in Ephesians that we are not at war with flesh and blood, but against darkness and spiritual forces of evil; i.e., The Dragon. This war is a daily battle of competition for our hearts, and these battles can be overwhelming, testing spiritual equilibrium and straining hope. Be encouraged. We are never alone. Your battles (and mine) belong to God. When life is tough, God is even more powerful. He is our shield and protector. He is in the trenches with us every second of every day, equipping us and carrying us through to ultimate victory. So, beware of dragons. But more importantly, be aware of Christ. Lean on him. Come learn of his faithfulness and his power to meet you when and where you need him most. As you read When Dragons War, find assurance in God's word. Find hope. He will never let you go. Enemies without are more easily detected than the dragons within. Like Narnia's Queen Lucy, Susan Erikson helps us slay them. Or better, she leads us to the one who has conquered the ancient serpent. Employing her exceptional poetry and evocative prose, this book is exactly what the doctor ordered for daily dragon-slaying. I definitely plan on reading this with the family. --Michael Horton, Professor, Westminster Seminary California and co-host of the White Horse Inn I loved it! I really like the structure here--taking the reader through many media and diverse applications of the same biblical teaching. Love the poems, the literary references, and the Bible exposition. It seems to me to be ideal for family devotions, especially for groups in which there are a variety of ages. --John Frame, Professor Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary Susan Erikson shows rightly that our ability to endure the sufferings of this present age and so participate in the glories of the age to come are inextricably bound up with our union with Christ and intimately tied to our daily relationship with Him . . . through active engagement with the Word of God and prayer, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. A great and practical devotional--I highly recommend it! --Rita Cefalu, PhD Susan Erikson brilliantly expresses, through poetry, prose, and compelling biblical questions, deep spiritual insight into the believer's warfare with dragons, both within and without. . . . When Dragons War is a book I am using devotionally so I can linger in the rich truths so eloquently expressed by Susan Erikson. --Pam Frost, researcher, board member of truthXchange Susan E.
