but you can't find the battlefield on a map. A legion of victims fall to
the guerilla tactics of the enemy daily. Landmines litter the landscape
and each can be deadly. The battlefield is not in the Middle East, but in
the midst of the human heart--your heart. The devil moves stealthily to
wound, take captive then move in for the kill. If you plan to fight the
devil, you better get ready. If this is a war, it's time to think like a
general. What strategy do you bring to the battlefront? How do you wage
the silent, but threatening war for your soul?
