What the Experts Say About The Secret Battle of Ideas about God
“We’re in a battle for our hearts and minds. The Secret Battle of Ideas About God not only diagnoses the disease—it writes the prescription to cure it. As CEO of Summit Ministries, Dr. Jeff Myers has been in the trenches and foxholes of spiritual warfare. He doesn’t offer a sugar-coated salvation free from pain, problems, and pressure. Instead, he shows how a Christian worldview defeats the bad ideas that spread like viruses and multiply our misery. Secret Battle is hopeful, but it’s also deeply honest—and that’s what gives it such value. We’re all in the fight: Secret Battle is a combat manual for winning.”
Mike Huckabee, Governor of Arkansas 1996-2007, television/radio personality, author, speaker, husband, father, and grandfather
"Jeff Myers’ brilliant and compelling The Secret Battle of ideas About God is like a handbook on how to navigate life on Earth. Ideas are what will help us or kill us. The good ideas — which happen to be true — help us live even when life is difficult; and the bad ideas — which are lies — kill us from the inside. I’m thrilled my friend has written this important primer on one of the most important subjects there is: what we believe and how that affects everything else. May God use this book!"
Eric Metaxas, author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy and host of the nationally-syndicated Eric Metaxas Show
