War Room by Chris Fabry
Week 9: The Real Enemy — Spiritual Warfare and the Armor of God
Read the chapters where the spiritual warfare theme is most explicitly developed. Key Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18; 1 Peter 5:8
The book's central thesis is that our real battles are spiritual — and this week, that theme comes into sharpest focus. Read carefully and let these chapters challenge your assumptions about where conflict in relationships really originates.
