Robert Jeffress is a skilled pastor, careful thinker, and insightful writer. This is an important book for our times and the church.”

“The Divine Defense is Robert Jeffress’ most theological book thus far. Yet, it contains the same helpful perspective and readability that will make it an invaluable resource for lay people and pastors as well.”
–Dr. Paige Patterson, president, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Some evangelical authors and media personalities easily slip into non-biblical extremism when searching for a handle on how to respond to evil principalities–promoting microwave-like, quickie solutions for life’s challenges. But the Bible is not silent or simplistic about substantive solutions for spiritual warfare, and Robert Jeffress clearly and concisely delineates those solutions, never losing his balance. Jeffress offers a message of practical hope that helps a person understand the spiritual equipment in the arsenal of a follower of Christ; Jeffress explains that God offers much more than mere ‘hopeso’-ism or ‘whatever.’ God offers to people who trust him, the reality of life in his kingdom; The Divine Defense will assist believers with the process of bringing the Light to the darkness.”
