    Our children are facing cultural "giants" that previous generations could never have imagined. Secularism, depravity, immorality, and apathy taunt Christians with a barrage of hate and intolerance. Will our children be equipped to stand strong against these giants or will they be overcome? That is the question Christian parents are asking. 
 
In this book, Ken Ham gives us a powerful message about the importance of raising strong believers who can stand in the face of a world that will challenge, disparage, and seek to eliminate their faith. He also helps prepare parents to equip the next generation to thrive in the face of cultural adversity and emerge as tomorrow’s Christian leaders.

    Rachel loves being Jewish, but she hates following the rules at synagogue—and everywhere else. 
 
Rachel’s rule-breaking ways have to change when she makes a deal: If she follows all the rules for a whole week, she will get to attend a meet and greet with her favorite gymnast. But when a tricky situation with a beloved family pet forces her to break some rules, she loses her chance to see her hero. 
 
Left with little more to lose, Rachel decides she might as well keep breaking rules.  
 
And it turns out that even though some rules are made to be broken … some exist for a reason!

    Just because you feel like you' re in bondage, it doesn' t mean you have to stay there.
After reading this book, I will have the insight needed to rupture the enemy' s grip on my life. I will gain the invaluable tools needed to fight in the spirit and take up my God-given authority as more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus.
Many believers are not victorious and not living lives of purpose and destiny because they don't understand the schemes and wiles of the devil.
Using powerful teachings, this book will unveil and expose the devil and his kingdom to the very core of his ministry, strategies, and weapons he uses against the church today.
The church has fallen asleep. We do not understand the things of the Spirit. We don' t understand the enemy of our souls. He comes to kill, steal, and destroy using satanic strategies, game plans, and arsenals of weapons that he wants us to believe are nonchalant, easygoing, harmless, and unpredictable.
The church is not teaching and equipping believers to teach our hands to war in the spirit. In Psalm 144:1, David asked God, " Lord, teach my hands to war." Now, instead of our hands being taught to fight the good fight, we find ourselves in handcuffs— limited, depleted, and spiritually anemic.
This book will help you unlock your spiritual handcuffs so you can understand the works of the devil and expose him before he sets foot on the battlefield of your life. You will learn how to crush the head of the serpent in any season of your life, and how you can see him coming in the blind spots of your walk with the Lord.
It' s time for believers to be trained, equipped, and become a spiritual army. It' s time to fight and expose the so-called devil and his entrapments. We will rise up and take back what he has stolen from us once and for all in the unmatchable name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior. Jesus will be proud that He picked us for the ultimate battle.
