Description: Three volume set. David Wilkerson (author of The Cross and the Switchblade) writes: I believe The Christian in Complete Armour, should be in the library of every man and woman of God. No Christian leader, teacher, pastor, evangelist, or Christian worker should be without it. Gurnall’s Christian Armour is certainly one of the greatest of all the Puritan’s practical writings. Originally titled, A Treatise Of the Saints' War against the Devil: Wherein a Discovery is made of that grand Enemy of God and his People, in his Policies, Power, Seat of his Empire, Wickedness, and chief design he hath against the Saints. From whence the Christian is furnished with Spiritual Arms for the Battle, helped on with his Armour, and taught the use of his Weapon: together with the happy issue of the whole War.

As a shepherd of souls, Gurnall's knowledge is extraordinary, yet his style is practical and to the point. He combines the sweet encouragement of the love and mercy of Christ with the vicious opposition of Satan and the impending judgment of God. His writings are thought provoking, heart searching, and thoroughly scriptural. Some choice quotes:

"Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by this heroic spirit; to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils."

"The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian."

Like a general challenging his troops in the midst of battle, Gurnall gives Christians eternal knowledge that can be embraced daily and used as an inspiring supplement to the Bible.

"Gurnall’s work is peerless and priceless; every line is full of wisdom; every sentence is suggestive. The whole book has been preached over scores of times, and is, in our judgment, the best thought-breeder in all our library."
-- C.H. Spurgeon
