A great book that all women should read. It will help defeat our enemy when we feel like life or the enemy is hurling arrows at us.
Thank you very much NetGalley for allowing me to read this book on Spiritual Warfare. This is a topic that is not discussed much. I was thankful to see other views on this topic and I was not able to read it all at one time as I believe this is a top for over many years.

A Woman’s Guide to Spiritual Warfare by Quin Sherrer & Ruthanne Garlock is an important practical handbook that helps us to understand the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of Spiritual Warfare, based on the Bible. It addresses crucial questions asked by everyone who needs to be delivered from attacks of the enemy. We all must know what Spiritual Warfare is, who the enemy is who started this evil war, and what weapons we are to use to fight it. How can we distinguish between the voice of God and the enemy’s voice? Quin and Ruthanne help us to gain precious insight, confidence and understanding to fight our own spiritual battles with courage. We are also equipped to encourage and strengthen others under attack, who are desperately trying to ward off the evil onslaughts of the enemy. Jesus Christ ensured our victory over sin and satan on the Cross. Here is new and vital Scriptural ammunition for your prayer arsenal, battle arms and weaponry to equip you to fight as a Christian soldier against the enemy of our souls. We must be trained to use Scripture as a powerful weapon to fight the devil. There are seven keys to win victory in spiritual battles against the enemy. God goes ahead of us to lead us to victory. We obey the Lord, trusting in His strategies to win the war. We do not focus on the enemy’s strength. We are not deterred by any lack of spiritual vision. We have perfect confidence in God’s Word. We must not compromise with the enemy. We give praise and glory to God for the victory. Success is assured when we follow God’s instructions. We get the deliverance and God gets the glory!
A Woman's Guide to Spiritual Warfare: How to Protect Your Home, Family and Friends from Spiritual Darkness
by Quin Sherrer and Ruthanne Garlock. This is a revised and updated edition of a book that was published in 1991 and 2010.
The authors include biblical guidelines, inspiring stories, practical steps and prayers. I found the bullet points and simple prayers to be most helpful. The inspiring stories include biblical stories and stories from current day. Each chapter has a supporting prayer at the end.
There is a section devoted to the armor of God and they take you through each piece.
I was intrigued by the examples of a prayer walk. Women would walk around their neighborhoods or specific areas they wanted to pray for. There was a section on fasting and praying. A section of praying for our nation which is more relevant today than ever. I am a firm believer in praying scripture and the authors include a multitude of them throughout the book. They discuss controversial topics such as generational curses and can a Christian be possessed by a demon.
The book has an appendix that lists Scripture verses relevant to specific issues and a section for Prayers and Declarations based on scripture.
