This is not a book you want to rush through！ You’ll want to take the time to read， savor， and dig deep as you allow the lessons through biblical teachings to renew and restore your weary souls。 The question you should ask yourself when you reach for this amazing book is， “Am I truly ready to flip the script on my life？” If so， Susie’s book will ignite that ember into a flame。 This book came at the perfect time in my life。 I’m so thankful to her and her obedience through her own life obstacles to This is not a book you want to rush through！ You’ll want to take the time to read， savor， and dig deep as you allow the lessons through biblical teachings to renew and restore your weary souls。 The question you should ask yourself when you reach for this amazing book is， “Am I truly ready to flip the script on my life？” If so， Susie’s book will ignite that ember into a flame。 This book came at the perfect time in my life。 I’m so thankful to her and her obedience through her own life obstacles to help God’s people continue and move forward。 Get ready， your world is about to be rocked！ 。。。more

Susie Larson has woven scripture from all parts of the Bible throughout her new book， “Strong in Battle” to strengthen our “ whole armor of God” for our battles， especially the sword of the Spirit， “which is the word of God。” This book leads readers， whether reading alone or in a Bible group， through the challenges we face today and those we’ve been dealing with throughout our lives。 Susie encourages us to build a relationship with Jesus that cannot be broken。 She is in it with us in this book。 Susie Larson has woven scripture from all parts of the Bible throughout her new book， “Strong in Battle” to strengthen our “ whole armor of God” for our battles， especially the sword of the Spirit， “which is the word of God。” This book leads readers， whether reading alone or in a Bible group， through the challenges we face today and those we’ve been dealing with throughout our lives。 Susie encourages us to build a relationship with Jesus that cannot be broken。 She is in it with us in this book。 I am in a valley right now， walking， sometimes crawling through it。 Pain。 Frustrations。 Pride。 Exhaustion。 So much！ And I know I am not alone in this challenging time。 People who I’ve never heard say they are depressed and tired are depressed and tired。 They have questions。 Their questions are in this book， too。 Susie doesn’t shy away from the stuff of this world that sucks our energy and joy。 She guides readers through these tough questions and paves a way for us to seek God for the answers through His word and through prayer and conversations with Him。 This book has taken my relationship with God to a level I’ve not had the courage， nor quite honestly， the faith to even imagine。 This book models finding joy in the battle in a way that transcends the world’s definition of joy。 I was granted an early copy of the book， and I already feel stronger in my battles and am excited to work through the book with my family members and friends， sharing our love for God and holding each other up to flourish and live as the warriors we are through Christ Jesus。 。。。more

How do you put into words a book that carries the weightiness of the Word of God fleshed out through suffering and faith？ This book is one I will return to over and over for help and encouragement plus further study。 I love the tension of Susie Larson’s vulnerability and warrior spirit。 She is real and a never-give-up woman of God。

WOW！ This is one of the most powerful books！！ She reminds us how loving and powerful God is and we need to be strong and read for battle。 Which means being loving and focused on Him and His word！ It can be a lonely road ， however HE will raise His remnant and bring others along side。I started reading i with the intention of journaling。 HOWEVER， I soon realized I wanted to read and ponder and read！！ Now， I will go back reread and journal！ We need to discern the arrows being thrown at us to take u WOW！ This is one of the most powerful books！！ She reminds us how loving and powerful God is and we need to be strong and read for battle。 Which means being loving and focused on Him and His word！ It can be a lonely road ， however HE will raise His remnant and bring others along side。I started reading i with the intention of journaling。 HOWEVER， I soon realized I wanted to read and ponder and read！！ Now， I will go back reread and journal！ We need to discern the arrows being thrown at us to take us off course！ Which means slowing down a bit and taking stock of the issues in our lives。He will show us the truth and best way to stand/fight。 Borrowed from my friend Carol :::::"Even if you're agnostic or atheist， you can find common-sense ideas here。 We all have negative thoughts。Most of our thoughts are automatic。 Many of our beliefs are borrowed or inherited， not formed in reaction to our own experiences。 This constant stream of thoughts in our heads can mislead us， betray us， pull us down。 Do you blindly accept intrusive thoughts that pop into your mind like cars on a freeway？"""She does not focus on the negative。 Her focus is on love，truth，joy， kindness and the character of God！ This is a powerful book。 A manual worth having and reading over and over。 Allowing Gods promises to saturate your spirit！ 。。。more

This book is so inspirational and insightful！ It is a book that makes you want to dig deeper into God’s Word！ There are so many wonderful quotes such as，"Discerning the reason for our battle is to determine our battle strategy。"and "What enemy scheme might fall apart because you dared to stand in the gap and pray？" This is a book that will make an excellent Bible study alone or in a group。 She has included thought provoking questions in each chapter along with prayers。 I believe this is an outst This book is so inspirational and insightful！ It is a book that makes you want to dig deeper into God’s Word！ There are so many wonderful quotes such as，"Discerning the reason for our battle is to determine our battle strategy。"and "What enemy scheme might fall apart because you dared to stand in the gap and pray？" This is a book that will make an excellent Bible study alone or in a group。 She has included thought provoking questions in each chapter along with prayers。 I believe this is an outstanding book for the time we are living。#Susie Larson 。。。more

I have just finished reading an advance copy of Susie Larson's newest book Strong in Battle: Why the Humble Will Prevail。 I believe it is one of the most powerful books yet to come from Susie Larson。 I was drawn in from the very first page。 I am currently living with a great deal of pain which has been going on for months now。 I had forgotten how powerful the enemy could be and how being in a rather weakened state， I was allowing him to try and turn my attention away from God and what a loving a I have just finished reading an advance copy of Susie Larson's newest book Strong in Battle: Why the Humble Will Prevail。 I believe it is one of the most powerful books yet to come from Susie Larson。 I was drawn in from the very first page。 I am currently living with a great deal of pain which has been going on for months now。 I had forgotten how powerful the enemy could be and how being in a rather weakened state， I was allowing him to try and turn my attention away from God and what a loving and powerful God we have。 I was particularly impressed with how Susie let herself be vulnerable with her own health struggles and her own doubts。 Makes my own doubts seem less of a violation， understanding that God still loves me and will make things right for me in His time。I also really appreciated how Susie organized the chapters beginning with Staying Dependent （on God）， Stay the Rank （Why me？）， to Stay Engaged and my favorite chapter Stay Fierce。 I took notes throughout my reading and I there was one sentence that really resonated with me。 "Have I been only ALMOST persuaded that God is who He says He is and that He'll do what He says He'll do。" I would highly recommend this book to anyone wavering in their faith。 Life can be hard， especially in our current days， and the enemy looks for every opportunity to knock us down。 。。。more

Wow…。。I don’t have words to describe the experience of reading this book。 God is with us in a way I had never imagined。 I read through the entire book without doing any journaling。 Now I will read it again more slowly and do the writing that Susie Larson gives the reader。 God is moving his people mightily through Susie’s words。 The enemy has filled me with so many lies！ I look forward to really studying this book。

Who is Susie Larson？ A year ago at this time， I hadn't heard of this podcasting prayer warrior who shares her love of Jesus with the world。 Some might dismiss her as "just another Fundamentalist zealot" but her words leaped out at me one night， framed by a lovely nature scene， shared on the Facebook wall of a friend from my hometown。 Wait: this is not the typical "Sweet Jesus" stuff I'd heard since infancy。 This Susie does not sound obnoxious or brainwashed。 She sounds intelligent， confident， wi Who is Susie Larson？ A year ago at this time， I hadn't heard of this podcasting prayer warrior who shares her love of Jesus with the world。 Some might dismiss her as "just another Fundamentalist zealot" but her words leaped out at me one night， framed by a lovely nature scene， shared on the Facebook wall of a friend from my hometown。 Wait: this is not the typical "Sweet Jesus" stuff I'd heard since infancy。 This Susie does not sound obnoxious or brainwashed。 She sounds intelligent， confident， wise， and strong。I've heard prayers and blessings aplenty， but Susie's ring with freshness and positivity。 E。g。，"May God give you extra grace to thrive in life even when your heart is breaking。 May you enjoy spilling-over-joy even before the breakthrough comes。 May you find cause to celebrate and rejoice over all that is right in your world。 Refuse to let your angst have the last say。。。" （hashtag: SusieLarsonBlessings）I started hitting the LIKE and SHARE icons。Susie Larson showed up with the right words at the right time， and I started paying attention。 I'd heard all these things before， one way or another， but Susie knows how to pack a punch。 Small words， big impact: E。g。，"Life on earth is short and eternity is long。 We’re here for the short term， not just to bide our time but to redeem our days。 Every day is a gift。 Every moment of your life is packed with purpose。"C。S。 Lewis said something similar in "Surprised by Joy。" This life is just a stay at an inn as we journey to our final destination。 Somehow， I've always found it very hard to believe that there is any such thing as a loving Creator and an afterlife， but the conviction of others has been more convincing to me than the Bible itself。 Susie demonstrates the courage of her convictions， so she got my attention。I still hadn't heard any of her podcasts， nor had I read any of her books， until "Strong In Battle。" I snagged an ARC of the book via NetGalley， where I've been a reviewer for ten years。 I highlighted line after quotable line。 On social media， I soon noticed others were highlighting and sharing the same passages that spoke to me。 E。g。“Bootstrap theology won’t save us。 But if we’re willing to trust Him， we’ll see our God move in ways that just might leave us breathless。” Well， buckle your bootstraps。 Bring on the belt of truth， the breastplate of righteousness， the shield of faith， the helmet of salvation， the sword of the Spirit。 Add one more thing: You'll need a journal to work through this book， this battle。Confession 1: I read the book， twice， but did not do any "journaliing" along with it。Confession 2: I rarely read the "Reflection Questions" in any book， and I see this feature in a lot of books， these days。 I did read Susie's。 This one， for example: Ask God to help you discern the arrows aimed at you。 Write them down。 "You have one enemy and he attacks in often predictable ways。 But we are not going to put up with it any longer。"Yeah！ We're not gonna take it anymore！Wait。 Who is this "one" enemy？"Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and rulers in the heavenly realms，" Susie explains。 "We have one enemy， and his name is Satan。 On our own， on our best day， we are no match for him。 He has studied us our whole lives。 He knows our weak spots; he knows about our unhealed wounds and how to trigger our fears。 We're like little children in the face of a Goliath of an enemy。"Well， that's annoying！ This "enemy" wants to steal our joy， keep us from knowing God， even get us to believe the devil does not exist （as Paul Harvey famously noted）。 The enemy is every negative force seeking to pull us down into depression， apathy， despair， anger， hatred， self-pity; the enemy wants us to doubt that Heaven exists and question if there’s life after death。The focus of this book is not the scheming and manipulation of Satan， but the positive， constructive things we can do to keep our thoughts out of the abyss and in the sunny realm of hope， joy， love， and all good things。 Susie acknowledges that "。。。。it's human nature （and a legitimate question） to wonder， *If God could stop this， why doesn't He？* She answers that， in part， with a quote from Bo Stern: "We may wish for a God who will keep us out of all afflictions， but isn't it wonderful to become acquainted with the One who goes with us into the heart of the fight， and then uses it for something beautiful？" She answers that question （and more， much more） with many quotable quotes， but this is just a book review， not Cliff Notes， not a summation of the key points。 A few select passages posted here， by me， cannot replace the riches of just reading the book， page by page， and taking in all the insights and battle strategies。Even if you're agnostic or atheist， you can find common-sense ideas here。 We all have negative thoughts。Most of our thoughts are automatic。 Many of our beliefs are borrowed or inherited， not formed in reaction to our own experiences。 This constant stream of thoughts in our heads can mislead us， betray us， pull us down。 Do you blindly accept intrusive thoughts that pop into your mind like cars on a freeway？"Be selective about what you allow into your soul。 Be more careful with the thoughts that seek to take up residence in your brain。 Understand the wisdom of guarding your heart and renewing your mind。" See， this is common sense advice， even if you think the Bible was written by men （patriarchal and provincial at times） and not inspired by a loving Father God。 You can also take that leap of faith， and "Breathe in God's promises and breathe out His Word。" #SusieLarsonBlessings One of Susie's battle strategies is to network with friends， face to face， not just on social media， and to pray for one another。 I would type out the excerpt here， but this review is getting too long already， and I haven't touched upon even a fraction of the ideas， insights， and tactics Susie offers。 I'll write a long， detailed response at my blog （carolkean dot wordpress dot com）。 Another reviewer has summarized all nine chapter titles and the four icons （bowl， flaming arrows， sword， shield）， so I will not duplicate that effort。This is more than a book。 It's a call to battle。 Susie's audience seems to be almost entirely women， which makes her focus on strategy and fighting tactics all the more intriguing to me。 Take heart。 Trust God。 Memorize more Bible verses， in case you're ever in some prison cell or lost on a desert island without books， and you have to rely on your memory to combat loneliness and desolation。 Read， memorize， internalize。There is so much more I would love to say about this book， but it would take weeks to hear what so many readers will have to share after experiencing "Strong in Battle。" Thank you to NetGalley and Bethany House for the ARC of this book。 My highest tribute is not the number of stars I might award， but whether I'd buy the book and give it away to friends。 This one is giftable！ 。。。more
