My Review of Spiritual Warfare for Women by Leighann McCoy

Leighann McCoy's book Spiritual Warfare for Women: Winning the Battle for Your Home, Family, and Friends is an encouraging book that will spur you to keep the faith in your spiritual battles. This is my first book to read by this author and while her writing style is not my favorite, I felt that she had some great points in the book. I have to say that I greatly admire her courage in writing this book because not only is she writing from experience, she was in the middle of several battles while she was writing the book. She is very vulnerable about herself and how she deals with what the enemy throws at her.
In the opening chapters, McCoy discusses the love of God and how it enables us to win our spiritual battles. The next section discusses the enemy, who he is and what he does as well as the fact that spritual warfare is real and not a game. Thirdly, she points out the different areas of our lives as women in which the enemy targets us: marriage, children, friendships, health, and church. Lastly, the book covers understanding who we are in Christ, how to defeat our enemy and why we have nothing to fear.
McCoy gives some really good ideas and thoughts in each chapter on how to win your battle and stay focused on keeping our faith focused on handling things God's way. She also gives some really great Scriptures in every chapter to reinforce the truths that she is conveying. There are examples and illustrations in each chapter that will encourage you to stay strong and focused. I personally liked that she wrapped up the book with the chapter on having nothing to fear. Based on David's 5 stones, she gives 5 stones (or reasons) why we have nothing to fear that I felt were especially helpful. At the end of each chapter, she gives a recap of the main point as well as Scriptures to "Sharpen Your Sword." She also gives many great Scriptures to memorize that will help you in winning your spiritual battles.
I was provided with a copy of this book by the publisher, Bethany House, in exchange for my review. I was not obligated to provide a positive opinion nor did I receive compensation for my review.
