Joel Beeke wrote: "With the possible exception of Gurnall's 'Christian Armour,' this book is the finest Puritan work on the theme of the Christian warfare. It is also Downame's best work."
Note: This is a Facsimile edition of the 1603 printing, taken directly from a copy of that edition. The sub-title of this book is: "Wherein is first generally shewed the malice, power and politick stratagems of the spirituall ennemies of our salvation, Satan and his assistants the world and the flesh, with the meanes also whereby the Christian may withstand and defeate them : and afterwards more speciallie their particular temptatiions, against the seuerall causes and meanes of our salvation, whereby on the one side they allure us to security and presumption, and on the other side, draw us to doubting and desperation, are expressed and answered : written especially for their sakes who are exercised in the spirituall conflict of temptations, and are afflicted in conscience in the sight and sense of their sins."
According to the author, he aimed to do three things with this book: "to relieve and comfort those who are poor in spirit and humbled in the sight of sin, to lead the Christian in an even course, unto the haven of eternal happiness, and to give solid and substantial consolations, which are firmly grounded upon God's undoubted truth."
Do note: this is a facsimile edition of the 1603 printing of this book.
