a treatise of the saints' war against the devil: wherein a discovery is made of the policies, power, wickedness, and stratagems, made use of by that enemy of God and his people, a magazine opened, from whence the Christian is furnished with spiritual arms for the battle, assisted in buckling on his armour, and taught the use of his weapon : together with the happy issue of the whole war, complete in two volumes

Put on your armor - it's time to fight. We are in a spiritual war, William Gurnall reminds us, and "the Christian's safety lies in resisting. All the armour provided is to defend the Christian fighting, none to secure him flying; stand, and the day is ours; fly or yield, and all is lost". This hard-hitting volume is packed with biblical wisdom for day-to-day Christian living, as helpful today as it was when first published nearly 400 years ago. Although history left us little knowledge of William Gurnall's life, it preserved this book - a legacy that has encouraged many generations of saints to fight sin, love Christ, and live holy and faithful lives as Christians who have clothed themselves in the complete armor of God. William Gurnall (1616 - 79) was born in King's Lynn, Norfolk, and received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Cambridge University. From 1644 until his death, he served as rector of St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, Lavenham, Suffolk
