LONGWOOD, FL-With a perfectly targeted faith, you'll never miss the mark. That's the adage author Douglas W. Knighton swears by. The author of Promises for the Battle (paperback, 978-1-60034-932-4) arms readers with the perfect combat-tested weapons for successfully fighting the good fight-the fight of faith. Every message increases one's ability to wield the sword of the Spirit accurately.
Says Knighton, "We fight the fight of faith with the promises of God. Those who read this book will gain more insight into several groups of promises, so they will be better able to apply them in their own battles to continue believing. Promises for the Battle will prepare and equip Christians for victory in the fight of faith!"
Faith in God needs to appear at different times in life as integrity, perseverance, courage, gracious speech, freedom, patience, thoughtfulness, a forgiving spirit, a willingness to try, or a readiness to be helped. But this only occurs when we are armed with and understand how to use promises appropriate to these needs. Then we will be able to destroy specific unbelieving attitudes encountered in the fight of faith. Promises for the Battle makes success probable by providing 10 sets of seven promises to generate the faith necessary for the moment; 10 prayers of praise to express delight in GodÕs grace and to serve as models for how to praise; practical, everyday contexts in which you fight the fight of faith; and response pages to record personal insights and applications.
"The texts and messages of this book have been 'combat tested' in the lives of men and women all over the world," says Knighton. The father of three hopes the book's message will prepare others for victory in the fight of faith.
As a pastor to medical students and doctors for 10 years, and as a military chaplain for 23, Douglas W. Knighton has consistently demonstrated an ability to strengthen the faith of individuals in stressful circumstances. God has used his succinct and perceptive writing to change the lives of men and women in the nation's premier teaching hospitals and on the remote desert battlefields of central Asia. He is the author of Grand Rounds with Dr. Luke and The Kingdom of Heaven is likeÉA Doctor and A Patient.
