The Adversary and Overcoming the Adversary discuss Biblical instructions and resources of Spiritual Warfare. This topic is often overlooked in many churches because of fear and not knowing the topic. As Bubeck states, ignoring this part of faith leaves believers vulnerable to Satan’s attacks. In order to help believers take an active approach, he writes his theological and experiential knowledge in two volumes.
In The Adversary, Bubeck lays the ground work for believers to get started. The topics include: why actively participate, different ways that believers are attacked, using the Bible in warfare, understanding Satan’s kingdom and goals, not being afraid of Satan, aggressive prayer, when to use bold confrontation, clearing the way for revival, tools for warfare, and warfare fought together as a church.
In Overcoming the Adversary, Bubeck goes more in depth. The topics include: Satan is not invincible, the believer’s union with Christ, the Person and mighty power of the Holy Spirit, applying the armor of God, combining prayer with the armor, invincible prayer, and sure victory.
I have always known that spiritual warfare exists. These books helped me put it into perspective and helped me see where it fit in my life as a believer. These books are filled with useful and challenging information. Every theological point made has some kind of practical application. I recommend these books to adults. There are many points in these books that can be used to start younger believers in the right path but the books may be tough for them to read and comprehend.
