It's an invitation to fight in a war like no other; a war where loss is counted as gain, surrender as victory, and where the enemy you must face, an enemy of unimaginable superiority, is yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSpiritual Warfare\u003c\/em\u003e, the metaphor of warfare rarely appears. Instead, we are presented with the living reality of a very normal woman - a wife and mother with a demanding career and high-stress lifestyle - and we see what happens when she receives an invitation that, try as she might, she can't refuse. And we meet another woman, a woman who accepted the invitation and fought and won. In the closing chapters of this book, we attend her memorial service as Jed delivers her eulogy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpiritual Warfare\u003c\/em\u003e issues a damning and irrefutable indictment of its own audience and genre, putting spirituality and religion themselves on trial. A terrible crime is being committed against humanity, a crime of oppression and subjugation far beyond Orwell's \u003cem\u003e1984\u003c\/em\u003e. We are the victims of this crime, but we are also its perpetrators. Our motive is fear, our sin is ignorance, and the chain in which we enslave ourselves is belief.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Belief means not wanting to know what is true.\" -Friedrich Nietzsche\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpiritual Warfare\u003c\/em\u003e is a book for those who do want to know; people who want to escape from their dark asylum and experience a direct and authentic spirituality; people for whom it's time to look, to think, to know, and, at long last, to put away childish things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisefool Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780980184860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.89d","brand":"Jed McKenna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36646222168220,"sku":"9780980184860","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_13564520-8c7c-49eb-9826-413236059527.jpg?v=1603863503","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/spiritual-warfare-9780980184860","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
