Fr. Jack N. Sparks About the Unseen Warfare series: Father Jack Sparks has drawn upon several versions of a classic sixteenth-century treatise, Spiritual Combat, originally written to guide monks in their labors to attain union with God.

In one form or another, this work has been revered as a spiritual classic for over four hundred years!Father Sparks has masterfully adapted the material from this highly treasured monastic work specifically for today?s lay Christian living in the midst of a modern world. The result is a profound but highly practical resource for those who seek to strive with all their might against the enemies of our souls - the world, the flesh, and the devil.Study questions at the end of each chapter facilitate individual or small group study. Fully indexed.Victory, Virtue, and Prayer form a three-part series on spiritual warfare. The three books are complementary in content, but do not overlap. Can be read separately or as a set.
