This book provides me with a selection of different perspectives based on different contexts and understandings to deal with spiritual warfare. After reading the book I find myself close to the view as outlined in the ground-level deliverance model by Boyd. Wink sees spiritual warfare manifests itself in…

Growing up, I was fascinated with Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. Batman. He 's witty, rich, and has a car that shoots flames out of the exhaust. What else could a boy ask for? What if I actually met Bruce Wayne? Would he like me? Could we be friends? My conclusion was no. Why on earth would Bruce Wayne want to hang out with me? Although I must admit, I 've never met the guy. The next chance I get, I 'm asking him! Why couldn 't I be friends with a superhero? Because it 's difficult to be friends with…

These are factors that truly impact Antonio’s identity. These are two completely different life styles that would affect his future…

live a God honoring lifestyle but in such depth; it would be a miracle to fully understand in it’s entirety.

had interviewed my mom and asked her some questions about her position on religion. The first question was, “What does religion mean to you?”. Her response was, “God is always there to help anyone, in anyway they need it. “ She then went on to say, “Although there are many different ways the believe, and some say there’s more than one god, but in all everyone should have someone to lean on.” Religion in my family has consistently been the same from when I was born.

Thus, not only can strong belief in God provide psychological benefits, but also can strong nonbelief in God (Galen, 2015).
