In today's multicultural atmosphere, Christians struggle to hold steadfast to the Word of God. Doubt, sin, and false teachers beckon at every turn and do their best to derail our faith. Therefore, Christians need to don the armor of God and yield His sword. Rich in theological history and filled with hope, "The Sword and Shield" reveals how Christians must embrace God's word and stand firm in the belief of His eternal promise. Using his extensive theological knowledge, John W. Edwards III shares his personal journey of faith and demonstrates how today's Christian crusaders must remain diligent against Satan's relentless attacks. Edwards examines the lives of several biblical leaders, including Moses, Daniel, David, and Paul, to show how they anchored believers to God's holy message. He then discusses ways in which Christians can wield the sword of truth by knowing God's message, living within the character of Christ, and preparing to be tested each day. In this way, Christians can apply their knowledge and discern between God's truth and Satan's lies. We are not measured to man, but measured to God's word. Find your truth within God's word and prepare to draw your sword
