The Three Battle Grounds: An In-Depth View of the Three Arenas of Spiritual Warfare: The Mind, the Church, and the Heavenly Places

Rating:
Summary: Critical Principles for All Believers!!!
Review: It is very difficult to present written works that provide detailed information, amazing clarity, inspiration, and an emphasis on Scripture. Francis Frangipane has created just such a work in his presentation of the Three Battlegrounds.

Sections one and two reveal very practical information concerning the struggles Christians face in the battle over their minds and their churches. The information revealed in these sections will help to integrate common sense, experience, and practical applications into your church and/or personal devotion.

Section three is so simple yet powerful it will blow you away. Here we are taught about the battle involving the Heavenly realm or at the strategic level. Frangipane does not present controversial techniques nor does he disguise his own personal agenda. He simply presents clear information concerning the battles that rage. Like many readers, I underline as I read. Looking back over section three, I have noticed that a majority of the pages have underlining and some chapters are almost completely underlined.

Christians of all experience levels and backgrounds will benefit from reading this book. The book reads quickly and easily because there is not any extra opinions or information. The material is well developed but to the point. This work does not present the "shaky ground" findings of some spiritual warfare advocates. It does however present historical, Scriptural, and pracitical information so that prayers can address specific strongholds in all of our lives.

Summary: If you're in ministry: YOU NEED THIS BOOK...
Review: Pastor Francis Frangipane has collected some of his very
best messages on the spiritual battlegrounds that confront
any Christian-worker in today's world and church-world.
He identifies most of the major "traps and snares" and
how to deal with them in your own life and ministry.
I highly recommend ALL of his fine books and booklets; this
one is probably the best of its kind available anywhere.
ESPECIALLY if you are an intercessor: this book needs to
be in your library and read at least two or three times over.(!)

Summary: An Excellent Handbook On Spiritual Warfare
Review: THE THREE BATTLEGROUNDS is a spiritual warfare manual organized around the theme suggested by its title. The three arenas are the mind, the church and the heavenly places. There are seven or eight chapters devoted to the techniques of spiritual warfare suitable for each separate battleground. The book is based on the belief that spiritual victory depends on both wisdom and virtue. It is suggested that the reader first become familiar with the terms described in the short glossary at the end of the publication.

The text is lean but loaded with useful insights and information. THE THREE BATTLEGROUNDS is most valuable as a handbook which we can refer to regularly during our ongoing struggles while waging spiritual warfare.

Summary: Don't end up MIA or a POW!
Review: This book is the "Art of War" for the christian walk. I have read many great spiritual warfare books in my life but none so advantagous as this one. Francis clearly has spiritual insight as he proclaims "Every battle we face in life is over the Word and whether or not we can build our lives upon the faithfulness and integrity of God." If you are hungry for more information on why you keep stumbling in the same area time and again, pick up this book and read it. I have found that I have the power (through Christ)to overcome the enemy every time. I simply agree with him, that I am a sinner then I confess that sin before the Lord and rejoice. This book has given me the understanding that God sees every sin I do and if I want forgiveness, I have to confess the sin, no matter how embarrasing it may be or how horrible it is.

I know much of this seems simple and basic but the devil decieves us by making us think we are not decieved.
This book can really help open your eyes to what is wrong in your life and why God seems distant.

Summary: Excellent, wisdom filled book on Spiritual Warfare.
Review: This extremely well written, so very easy to read book on the aspects of spiritual warfare is highly recommended.

The author displays wisdom and spiritual discernment that is so evident in his eloquent portrayal of deep Biblical truths.

I have listened to the author preach since I began reading this book and it is clear that he has a deep love for Jesus Christ.

The Three Battlegrounds is not a very long read and it can be used as a reference and read time and time again.

Christians cannot afford to be ignorant in the subjects covered here. Ignorance provides vulnerability. If you are able to obtain this book, then I would heartily encourage you to do so.

Summary: This is a book every Christian needs to read and study!
Review: This is a book that every Christian needs to read and keep right next to their bibles so that they can study it and read it over and over. There is more revelation in this book than the reader can obtain with one go-through. I am in the process of reading it the second time. While reading this book, I realized the importance of renewing our minds daily and taking every thought into captivity and under the submission of the Lord. Signed, [e-mail]

Summary: Exposing the three battlegrounds
Review: This is a fantastic book, and one I can easily recommend.

In this book, Francis Frangipane outlines the three battlegrounds that are in every believer's life. The first chapter (the battleground of the mind) is a fantastic section that deals with the areas of darkness that the Lord wants to expose. The great thing about the way the author communicates this is how he places the battle in perspective. He encourages the reader to look to Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to transform our minds.

The next chapter concerns the battleground of the church. Here the author focuses the reader on unity and love. Two keys that unlock the power of God to move in cities.
The final chapter deals with the warfare in the heavenly places. To do this he suggests once again that the main battle is by focusing on Jesus and taking ground in our own lives. He exposes the works of the enemy through the spirit of Jezebel and guides the reader through prayer, how to address this stronghold.
I have read this book many times and will probably read it again one day. It is packed with valuable information that will benefit any believer.

Summary: A great introduction to Spiritual Warfare
Review: This is a great beginners guide to spiritual warfare. Anyone thinking of getting involved in spiritual warfare or just want to know more about it should read this book. Even if you don't want to get involved in it, get the book because there is an excellent section that discussed strongholds that few other books cover well.

This book was required reading for bible school and I benefited greatly from it. Francis Frangipane is a well respected author and this book is one of his best. It's one of those books that all Christians should read at least once.
