practical, Bible-based manual full of practical steps to find
victory over demonic protagonists.”
–Dr. Eugene H. Merrill, distinguished professor of Old Testament
Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary
“In all too many cases, books dealing with spiritual warfare tend
to learn toward the superficial of the bizarre. The Divine Defense,
however, goes right to the heart of the biblical text and deals
with the spiritual warfare that is at the very center of the
Christian life, describing the reality of the battle but pointing
to the victory achieved through Jesus Christ. Robert Jeffress is a
skilled pastor, careful thinker, and insightful writer. This is an
important book for our times and the church.”
–Dr. Al Mohler, president, Southern Baptist Theological

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.”
–John L. Yeats, director of communications for the Louisiana
Baptist Convention and Southern Baptist Convention recording
secretary
