Summary: Timely Truths About Spiritual Warfare
Comment: Dr. Lawless has developed a very practical masterpiece that guides the reader through precious truths about spiritual warfare. He applies the five church functions plus prayer, made popular by Rick Warren, to overcoming the bondage imposed by sin and the enemy of God. The book stresses the need for discipleship and training or equipping in the area of the full armor of God as presented in Ephesians 6:10-20.
This book reads very smoothly and the material presented can be easily comprehended. This book is a must read for church pastors. Both the experienced pastor and new ministers will benefit from reading and applying these principles.
The most refreshing part of this work is that these are universal principles. Many works that are written about spiritual warfare apply only historical accounts about experiences from someones past. Those experiences are important but are not universal. Dr. Lawless has used his expertise and God given talent to organize the material found in Discipled Warriors and I believe you, your family, your church, and your community will benefit greater from your ministry after you have read this book.

Summary: Building a Healthy Church
Comment: Numerous books are being written on the subject of church growth. The book was written because of the author's desire to see churches be strong enough to win the battles against Satan as they are growing. Three main ideas are raised. The first is that too little consideration is being given to the theological foundation. Without a well-grounded foundation the church that develops will be weak at best. A second concern is that prayer is often neglected in the wealth of strategies and methods. Spiritual realities can so easily be overlooked in the effort to "get something done," to increase the number of names on the church roll or the size of the budget. The third idea is that all too often discipleship is only a part of the purpose of the church. It becomes another program, not a life style.
There are 10 chapters in the book. Chapter 1 presents the foundation for a biblical model for a local congregation. Chapter 2 shows that discipleship is an over all goal to defeat the enemy through a disciplined lifestyle. Power-driven programs are not the answer. Chapters 3 through 8 concentrate on the six purposes of the local congregation. They provide much direction, the "how-to" for achieving the goals of growing Christians in growing churches. Chapter nine is titled "Leading in Charge Without Losing the Battle." This involves sincere prayer by those who are leading. And encouraging others to pray regularly. "Lead from your knees if you want to grow a church with discipled warriors." Chapter 10, "A Concluding Challenge," gives serious warning through stories of failure in spiritual warfare from the Bible. The call is first to holiness and then to the battle.
