Publisher's Synopsis
Imagine the intensity of a physical fight, the strategic thinking required in martial arts, and the unwavering focus needed for victory. Now, envision those same principles applied to the unseen battles raging in the spiritual realm.
In BATTLE FOR HIM, a seven-time World Champion martial artist, veteran, pastor, and evangelist draws a powerful and insightful parallel between the discipline of Taekwondo and the often-neglected realities of spiritual warfare. Through engaging personal anecdotes, including a vivid account of a school hallway brawl that sparked a lifelong journey, the author unpacks the fundamental principles of combat and reveals their profound relevance to the Christian walk.
This isn't just a theoretical discussion. BATTLE FOR HIM provides practical, step-by-step guidance on identifying the enemy, understanding your strengths and weaknesses in Christ, and effectively utilizing the spiritual weapons God has provided. Drawing direct correlations between martial arts training - from mastering stances and basic techniques to understanding timing, distance, angles, focus, and combinations - the book illuminates how believers can train themselves to stand firm against the forces of darkness.
You'll learn how the foundational elements of Taekwondo, such as maintaining a strong stance in the face of an opponent, mirror the necessity of standing firm in your faith in Jesus Christ. The book delves into the power of God's Word as your offensive and defensive weapon, akin to a precise kick or block, and emphasizes the vital role of prayer as your direct line to divine strength.
BATTLE FOR HIM challenges readers to move beyond simply identifying as Christians and to actively engage in spiritual training. It addresses the common lack of instruction for new believers in navigating spiritual battles and offers a practical "crawl, walk, run" approach to developing spiritual self-defense skills.
Whether you're a seasoned believer or new to the faith, this book will give you a fresh perspective on daily spiritual battles. It will empower you to recognize the enemy's tactics, understand the power available to you through the Holy Spirit, and confidently step into the arena knowing that victory is already secured in Jesus Christ. BATTLE FOR HIM is a call to action, urging you to move from passive faith to active engagement, ready to fight for God's glory and experience the abundant life He has promised.
