BATTLES CHRISTIANS FACE
By Vaughan Roberts
Authentic Media. 155 pages. 6.99
ISBN 978-1-85078-728-0

This book seeks to help Christians in their lives as they face difficulties along the way. The author chooses eight specific areas to address — some of the most difficult and intractable battles that tend to affect us.

Roberts devotes a chapter each to image, lust, guilt, doubt, depression, pride, homosexuality, and keeping spiritually fresh. While, given the length of the book, he is obviously not trying to deal with the topics in an exhaustive way, he does do a credible job of hitting key issues and providing biblically-based counsel. The book is very well written, intelligent and thoughtful without being too technical. The style is readable but never shallow, and its lessons provide both comfort and challenges to us as we live out our Christian lives in the modern world. Roberts does a superb job bringing in relevant Scripture for each topic (which is helpfully written out in the text of the book) and really uses it to make his points powerfully.
