Dr. Evans is one of my favorite teachers of all time. I thoroughly love the way he clearly explains difficult theological concepts and further develops concepts that the reader may have glossed over from familiarity.
This book begins with the Biblical premise that marriages are engaged in spiritual warfare, whether one realizes it or not. The book gives a brief overview of the armor of God as described in Ephesians, what each piece is, why the Bible describes the piece with that character quality, and what it was used for in actual combat. Then subsequent chapters address several issues that each marriage faces such as love, unity, purpose, forgiveness, and so on. Then, using each piece of armor, Dr. Evans provides prayers addressing that issue in the framework of the pieces of armor. Each issue, each piece of armor is addressed using scripture and scripture-based prayers.
So often in my prayers, I’m tongue-tied. I know there’s a problem, but I don’t know what to do or say beyond, “Help!” This book has enabled me to see how many different aspects of our marriage can be viewed, analyzed, and improved through applying Scripture and prayer. Even though this is a relatively small book, it is one of the most powerful and transformative books I’ve read in a long while.
I gratefully received this book as an eARC from the author, publisher, and NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.
Powerful and pertinent to the times we live it. Fabulous! So glad I read this book.
Prayers for Victory in Your Marriage is incredibly intensely amazing. It was easy to read and let me start telling you this that in Chapter One the author tells you that each Marriage is under Spiritual attack daily. He goes into that and tells you so much you most likely did know - "to say that Spiritual Warfare happens in the home is an understatement. The home, and particularly Marriage, is a hotbed of satan's tactics and techniques. WHOEVER OWNS THE FAMILY OWNS THE FUTURE.." (I capitalized) but he brings it clear into view. He then goes onto tell you exactly how to fight satan and keep your family safe.
This book is really blessed me a lot. This book teaches that if you are a believer and you are married, you're in the battle whether you realized it or not. The battle is for your unity to be destroyed, your love to be diminished, and ultimately your marriage to fail.
This is my first book of this author and I have to say I look forward to read more of his books.
Thank you Netgalley for this book
