My Review:
                        This book is well thought out and the ideals of the author(Pedro Okoro) are easily founded. The author(Pedro Okoro) basis this book off scripture and takes the time to explain within the book the points there after. A lot of religious books I have found are very 1-sided opinionated and the authors used scripture to further their opinion within the scripture. Pedro does not do that in this book. He fully explains his own interpretation of the scripture.     
                    We all struggle on a constant bases with the devils temptations. This book especially points out these topics in the "Preparation for Battle: The A-Z of Spiritual Warfare". Reading this book was a rather fond experience for me  to undergo a spiritual conversion by which I gained and regained faith in God. For me it made me realize what an enemy really can be made of and that I have the authority to fight back no matter what we go through God will never leave me. Pedro also references to the non-Christan so this book isn't to be fully related to as a hard core leadership book. Crushing the Devil it is not an everyday book; it is a comprehensive guide to be referred to over and over again.  I look forward to turning to this book as the years past and feel better just knowing it's close.

I give this book 7 out of 10 Stars
