Prepare yourself to fight the good fight

“It’s hard to fight sin when you can’t see what’s happening; it’s hard to beat Satan when he’s blindfolded you.”

The battle against sin, the world, and the devil is constantly raging. To be effective, soldiers go into battle armed with thorough tactical knowledge to equip them for the fighting they will face. Although we’re aware that there is an enemy, we’re often caught off-guard running for cover rather than advancing confidently like well-equipped soldiers.

Graham Beynon seeks to change this in Standing Firm. Graham hones our battle skills and prepares us to fight the good fight by helping us to know both ourselves and our enemy better. 

The fight against sin will continue throughout our lives but it is possible to confidently stand firm against our enemy.

Endorsements:

“A book about sin might not sound like much fun, but Standing Firm is packed full of hope and promise. It provides gospel-strategies to see beyond the destructive lies of sin and pathways towards joy-filled freedom. It’s not long, so I suggest you read it and then read it again in a year’s time. Or, better still, read it with someone else and challenge one another to apply it to specific temptations you each face.” - Tim Chester, Director of Theological Studies, Crosslands Training and author of You Can Change

In Standing Firm, Graham Beynon provides a concise but clear and compelling explanation of what Satan’s activity and aim is in the world and in our lives, and how we can thwart his intention to use temptation to ruin our lives and alienate us from God. - Nancy Guthrie, author and Bible teacher

“What I found so helpful about this book is the insight it gives into the widely varying ways through which sin attacks my life in Christ. Forewarned really is forearmed for Christian believers. Graham very helpfully weaves in multiple practical examples that will help both disciples and disciple makers.” - Julian Hardyman, missionary at Good News Hospital, Mandritsara, Madagascar and former Senior Pastor, Eden Baptist Church Cambridge

“If you never struggle with sin, then don’t buy this book. But if, like me, you find yourself too easily tripped up by Satan’s schemes and too often taken in by the dodgy and deceitful tricks of sin, then Standing Firm is a book written for you. Graham Beynon goes deep into hostile territory to understand and expose the key tactics of our enemy. Through the lens of Scripture, we get to see not only how he works (he certainly doesn’t play fair!) but we discover some very practical answers as to how to do battle. Best of all, Standing Firm will give you growing confidence that, equipped by God’s word and empowered by his Spirit, living for Jesus can be a life in which we really can learn to stand our ground.” - Neil Powell, Director, The London Project

“Every Christian wants to persevere to the end and to see Jesus face to face. To persevere, it is essential that you know your enemy. Our enemy Satan works by tempting Christians to sin, and these temptations will always be with us this side of the new creation. This may sound overwhelming, but Graham Beynon helpfully shows us that right acceptance of this belief means we are less likely to say yes to sin as we will better know how our enemy works. A book about sin may seem like it would be depressing, but I found it to be encouraging and refreshing. This is because Beynon helps us consider God’s great love for us and how his love is so much better than anything temptation offers. He also shows us the gift we have from God in the form of other Christians and how they can help us in our battle not to sin. As Christians, we need to keep being reminded of our enemy, so reading Standing Firm will be well worth your while. It may also be the wake-up call you or a friend need at this time.” - Jane Tooher, Assistant Minister, St Matthias Anglican Church, and former lecturer at Moore Theological College, Sydney

“Our enemy knows his business. He has studied you and has you mapped out in full 3D. He’s ready to exploit your every vulnerability – lying, cheating and hitting below the belt. If we’re to stand our ground in the face of his assaults, we need to know how and where he’s coming at us. In this engaging and sharply written book, Graham Beynon draws on the insights of the greats, his own pastoral experience and – most importantly – the resources of Scripture to help us engage in the fight of our spiritual lives. Read it humbly and prayerfully and you will learn much about both yourself and your enemy – leaving you better armed and ready for combat!” - Orlando Saer, Senior Pastor, Christ Church Southampton, and Director of Reach South
