Too often we fail to prepare for our battles.
So when challenges, troubles, or opportunities arise, we rapidly become burdened with limiting thoughts of self-doubt, fear, impossibility, and lack. But it doesn't have to be this way.

This no longer has to be the case. Battle Ready, an exploratory, hands-on book, provides dozens of mind-renewing truths, hope-building exercises, and habit-changing techniques to help you endure the worst of times, with Jesus, as if it was the best of times.'
-Shannon Ethridge, MA, life/relationship coach and bestselling author of Every Woman's Battle series. Marine general Tony Zinni was known as the 'Warrior Diplomat' during his nearly forty years of service.
His credentials as a soldier were impeccable, whether he was leading troops in Vietnam, commanding hair-raising rescue operations in Somalia, or - as Commander in Chief of CENTCOM - directing strikes against Iraq and Al Qaeda. But it was as a peacemaker that he made just as great a mark - conducting dangerous troubleshooting missions all over Africa, Asia, and Europe, and then serving as Secretary of State Colin Powell's special envoy to the Middle East, before disagreements over the 2003 Iraq war and its probable aftermath caused him to resign.'
Battle Ready follows the evolution of both General Zinni and the Marine Corps, from the cauldron of Vietnam through the operational revolution of the '70s and '80s, to the new realities of the post-Cold War, post-9/11 military - a military with a radically different tools for accomplishing it. Opinions differ sharply about just what that job and those tools should be - and General Zinni makes it clear where he stands. Americans eat more processed foods than anyone else in the world. We also spend more on military research. These two seemingly unrelated facts are inextricably linked.
If you ever wondered how ready-to-eat foods infiltrated your kitchen, you’ll love this entertaining romp through the secret military history of practically everything you buy at the supermarket. In a nondescript Boston suburb, in a handful of low buildings buffered by trees and a lake, a group of men and women spend their days researching, testing, tasting, and producing the foods that form the bedrock of the American diet. If you stumbled into the facility, you might think the technicians dressed in lab coats and the shiny kitchen equipment belonged to one of the giant food conglomerates responsible for your favorite brand of frozen pizza or microwavable breakfast burritos. So you’d be surprised to learn that you’ve just entered the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center, ground zero for the processed food industry.
Ever since Napoleon, armies have sought better ways to preserve, store, and transport food for battle. As part of this quest, although most people don’t realize it, the U.S. Military spearheaded the invention of energy bars, restructured meat, extended-life bread, instant coffee, and much more.
But there’s been an insidious mission creep: because the military enlisted industry—huge corporations such as ADM, ConAgra, General Mills, Hershey, Hormel, Mars, Nabisco, Reynolds, Smithfield, Swift, Tyson, and Unilever—to help develop and manufacture food for soldiers on the front line, over the years combat rations, or the key technologies used in engineering them, have ended up dominating grocery store shelves and refrigerator cases. TV dinners, the cheese powder in snack foods, cling wrap. The list is almost endless.
Now food writer Anastacia Marx de Salcedo scrutinizes the world of processed food and its long relationship with the military—unveiling the twists, turns, successes, failures, and products that have found their way from the armed forces’ and contractors’ laboratories into our kitchens. In developing these rations, the army was looking for some of the very same qualities as we do in our hectic, fast-paced twenty-first-century lives: portability, ease of preparation, extended shelf life at room temperature, affordability, and appeal to even the least adventurous eaters.
In other words, the military has us chowing down like special ops. What is the effect of such a diet, eaten—as it is by soldiers and most consumers—day in and day out, year after year? We don’t really know.
We’re the guinea pigs in a giant public health experiment, one in which science and technology, at the beck and call of the military, have taken over our kitchens. From the Hardcover edition. Battle Ready is a book and Bible study combination acknowledging that spiritual warfare and collective evil is a reality that must be encountered and engaging in this fight is a part of the Christian narrative. To be Battle Ready, the tactics against warfare of evil are discussed and broken down along with counter strategies to thwart off attacks. Many are wounded by spiritual attacks, abuse, or mobbing, and Mike offers a way through the pain reflecting on his experience of collective evil attacks and psychological abuse from some toxic parishioners that he has encountered over his 27 years of ministry. This book is an excellent resource for everyone who wants to become more aware of how spiritual warfare is waged at work, personally, and corporately in the life of the church. Mikes desire is that this book will raise awareness of the abuse that is on the rise in our society.

But you don't need anybody to tell you that.
What you need is a plan to fight him and win. I'd like to offer you a helpful strategy.The Enemy of our Souls has gathered a daunting arsenal of weapons, some of which seem intentionally designed with us girls in mind. Ever deal with depression? I'd like to highlight seven of the deadliest Enemy weapons aimed at women-but more than that I'd like to give you a bit of insight so you aren't caught off-guard, a battle plan so you fight well and emerge victorious.The Enemy is an opportunist, and you already know he picks your moment of weakness to launch his attack. It's when your health isn't the greatest, when you haven't had enough sleep, when your hormones are out of whack.
It's when you are moving or starting a new job. It's when you are grieving deep loss.I want you to know that you aren't alone in the fight. We're all in this together, and when the Enemy messes with one of us he messes with us all. One thing he really hates is community, because when we fight together we are better, wiser, stronger. The weapons he has formed against are no joke, but he has sorely underestimated the power our God has knit right into His daughters.So this is all of us opening our eyes to the schemes that would weaken us, frighten us, take us down. It's time to wake up to the courage and bravery that lives within us and raise our swords together in this fight.
The Enemy is coming. And we will be ready.

This is an important study on the subject of spiritual warfare. As the time approaches for Jesus' return, the spiritual battles between God and evil are very real and present. An invisible spiritual battle is certain and 'all' are involved in this warfare. The best option for understanding this eternal battle is the Bible.
The Scriptures are filled with a theology of spiritual warfare. God's victory over evil in Christ is a part of God's redemptive plan. Brewington will help the reader better understand the reality of this warfare, but also shows the reader how to defend his or her life, family and church from these present dark influences. SPIRITUAL WARFARE is a general introduction to the biblical history of spiritual warfare. And a study of how the Bible reveals the mysteries surrounding the subject. He wants all to know, 'In reality, the Christian life is not the exiting from all warfare, but the entering into an awareness of a new reality and kind of warfare.'
Most can relate to the experience of unwanted personal conflicts and spiritual struggles. One of the best ways to understand and combat these conflicts is to understand the many mysteries of spiritual warfare in light of the entire Revelation of God and then put His truth into action. 'These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world' John 16:33 Strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, 'We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.'
In the decades since the 'forgotten war' in Korea, conventional wisdom has held that the Eighth Army consisted largely of poorly trained, undisciplined troops who fled in terror from the onslaught of the Communist forces. Now, military historian Thomas E. Hanson argues that the generalizations historians and fellow soldiers have used regarding these troops do little justice to the tens of thousands of soldiers who worked to make themselves and their army ready for war. In Hanson's careful study of combat preparedness in the Eighth Army from 1949 to the outbreak of hostilities in 1950, he concedes that the U.S. Soldiers sent to Korea suffered gaps in their professional preparation, from missing and broken equipment to unevenly trained leaders at every level of command. But after a year of progressive, focused, and developmental collective training-based largely on the lessons of combat in World War II-these soldiers expected to defeat the Communist enemy.

By recognizing the constraints under which the Eighth Army operated, Hanson asserts that scholars and soldiers will be able to discard what Douglas Macarthur called the 'pernicious myth' of the Eighth Army's professional, physical, and moral ineffectiveness.
