Safe and Sound

With characteristically clear and gracious writing, Biblical counselor David Powlison delivers his final book, published posthumously. He explains what spiritual warfare looks like in the Bible, contrasting that with much of what we give that label today. One of his main points: Jesus cast out demons in the Bible as a subset of healing, but the Apostles modelled and taught that people should repent of sin and trust Christ, no matter what sins are in their past. Counsellors will find Powlison’s section on spiritual warfare in counselling particularly helpful, but this book can also serve as a God–focused primer on how Christians should fight their spiritual enemies.
