ENDORSEMENTS
"Thoroughly Biblical and creatively insightful, this work calls each Christian to be ready to defend their faith while positively engaging today's culture...Any Christian, especially those interested in missions, evangelism, apologetics, and pastoral ministries, will be greatly assisted by reading 'Battle Cry'. I highly recommend this book."-DR. ROBIN DALE HADAWAY, Professor of Missions, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri
"While the past few decades have seen a growing fascination in the subject, much of it has lacked a truly biblical foundation. 'Battle Cry', however, is a breath of fresh air. Readers will find it thoroughly biblical, theologically sound, and extraordinarily practical." -DR. IRV BUSENITZ, Professor Emeritus of Bible Exposition and Old Testament at the Master's Seminary
"Lashed to the cross, founded in the unshakeable Word of God written and living, and flowing with personal experience, 'Battle Cry' is a powerful reminder that we are one generation away at any given time from witnessing the abortion of Jesus' kingdom movement in a given locale if we do not stand and fight as men and women of God. We must battle for our marriages, our children, our churches, and our lost family members and friends, rejecting the world system while recognizing the reality of the daily spiritual conflicts and the weapons of our warfare are mighty through God. Run to the battle and give your life for something worth dying!" -DR. CHRIS CARR, Director, Global Gates Network Canada and Gateway Hub Leader for the Greater Toronto Area (globalgates.ca)
"There are certain reminders in the Christian life which are always timely because they are timeless. The reminder, encouragement, admonishment regarding the spiritual battle the believer faces daily is a necessity. James Fryer has brought such a prompting in this book calling up history, recent and ancient, military practice, hymnody, and biblical wisdom to illustrate the profound nature of the enemy's work in this world and the critical role that the believer must assume in the warfare. Essential then is the knowledge of the Word which 'Battle Cry' appropriately advocates. There is no combat against the lies of the devil except through the Truth of God's Word...Spiritual warfare is more about immersing ourselves in truth than it is about combating spiritual assailants. Praise the Lord for this encouraging book that reminds us of the power of the Word of God." -JON EVANS, President of Good News Jail and Prison Ministry
