Born for Battle carries a message that the Church generally is not hearing today. Modern emphases push Christian believers into so focusing on fulfillment and personal peace that most have forgotten that they were meant to be soldiers in a spiritual battle. This book sounds a battle cry. It calls, not for retreat or for going underground at Satan-inspired opposition, but for confrontation. A careful reading could change the whole perspective of your life.

As these chapters, by and large, were written as editorials for East Asia Millions, the Overseas Missionary Fellowship's magazine, they were meant to be read one at a time. And because they are strong meat, they need to be chewed and digested morsel by morsel. Thus we have set them up as a month's daily readings and suggest that you read them that way. If you want your life to be more than spiritual froth, let the Holy Spirit use these pages to effect in you a revolution of outlook and priority.
