We can either concede defeat, or put on God's armor and overcome.
We all know it’s hard out there. Sometimes it feels like the world is ripping apart at the seams. And yet the Bible promises we were created to be overcomers, conquering the greatest obstacles in our lives.
In Overcomer, beloved teacher Dr. David Jeremiah offers his insights on one of the most quoted but least understood passages of the Bible: the apostle Paul’s admonition to the Ephesians to take up the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). We are to daily put on each piece of armor:
Belt of Truth
Breastplate of Righteousness
Shoes of the Gospel of Peace
Shield of Faith
Helmet of Salvation
Sword of the Spirit
When we are armed with God's armor, we receive God's power to face life's challenges and be assured of success. With his signature depth, wisdom, and compassion, Dr. Jeremiah explores the powerful relevance of spiritual armor as a critical tool each day as we confront the specific challenges in our lives and of our time.

Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that when Satan attacks we may not have time to google an answer or phone a friend for spiritual advice. We must be prepared.
Based on Ephesians 6:10-18, Dr. Jeremiah says,
"Satan wants to keep you from God’s strength. He’s after your honesty, your heart and your righteous life. He wants to fill you with anxiety and with doubt. He longs to confuse your mind.
He loves to tempt you to sin. He hates it when you pray."
Each chapter contains stories of men and women who overcame adversities. Some of those mentioned are some of my favorites: King David, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Desmond Doss. There are also voices from today including Chip Ingram, Max Lucado, and John MacArthur.
I’ve been telling my husband how amazed I am to discover something valuable on almost every page. I guess I’ve intrigued him because he’s reading the book now.
Although a Bible study has been made to go along with the book, the book itself is not set up as a Bible study.
However, almost every page contains one or more scripture. I’m not talking about a light mention either. It’s discussed in detail and in an easy-to-understand way.
Dr. Jeremiah also shares interesting information about biblical times. One example he uses when discussing David and Goliath, is about the ancient armies and their three kinds of warriors: the cavalry, the infantry, and the slingers.
He includes comments from experts such as those from a ballistics expert with the Israeli Defense Forces who did tests showing how a stone could easily knock down a person.
I find side notes like this interesting and educational.
Even though he’s published numerous books, this is the first book I’ve read written by Dr. David Jeremiah. I find Overcomer to be encouraging and helpful to spiritual growth. The content is presented in a fresh way. My husband is reading it now. When he finishes it, I plan to give it to my teenager to read. And then, I want to read it again. I highly recommend it.
I received a free book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. -
