Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your enemies, the flesh, the world, and the devil, are trying to destroy everything they can in America today: the schools, sports, politics, the medical community, the police, the church, and even you. Now is the time to stand against these enemies and JOIN GOD'S ARMY. This means stop being a Christian "civilian," become a Christian Soldier, and PUT ON THE FULL COMBAT GEAR OF GOD as the Operations Order (OPORD), Ephesians 6:11, clearly instructs you to do. Yet, how are you supposed to know how the six pieces of battle equipment, listed by Paul, are supposed to be used correctly in spiritual warfare if you've never had to physically put on body armor or picked up a weapon to defend your country before? After all, less than 1% of the American population is serving, or have served, in the United States Armed Forces. Jim Wagner, a former soldier, shares his insights into the recruiting, training, schooling, and service of today's U.S. Soldiers, and compares them to the spiritual truths that will give new meaning to the ageless verse, Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
