The Stranger’s Conflict by Brad Church offers a profound exploration of the internal spiritual battle experienced by believers in Christ. The book begins by addressing the universal human struggle to live righteously in a world seemingly dominated by the sinful nature inherited from Adam and Eve. It traces the origins of this conflict back to the Garden of Eden, highlighting how one choice—disobedience—introduced corruption, death, and separation from God into human experience. Church then elaborates on the biblical concept of humans being created in God's image, comprising body, soul, and spirit, and how this tri-part nature influences our internal war. The book discusses the ongoing spiritual conflict between the new creation, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and the corrupt, flesh-driven old self. The book emphasizes that through God's redemptive plan, culminating in Christ’s sacrifice, believers are called to participate in sanctification, gradually overcoming the influence of sin and Satan.
Brad Church's message will inspire Christians to nurture their faith and understand the dynamics of the spiritual battles they must face. I enjoyed the accurate biblical references that anchor the author’s messages. The Stranger’s Conflict deftly examines themes of spiritual identity, divine grace, biblical truth, and perseverance in adversity. It tackles the topics of human origins, the consequences of sin, God's redemptive plan, and the ongoing process of sanctification. The book’s primary audience comprises Christians at all stages of faith—new believers seeking understanding, mature followers who want to deepen their spiritual walk, and leaders desiring to equip others for spiritual warfare. Its biblical foundation, practical insights, and pastoral tone encourage believers to confront and manage their inner conflict with faith, hope, and reliance on God's grace. This inspirational and well-researched book delivers the tools to grow in faith.
