Item Description...
Paperback abridged 3 Volume Set
Written in the 17th century by Pastor William Gurnall and compiled into 365 readings by Bell, this collection supplies Christians with a soul-searching supplement to the Bible. Gurnall gives readers eternal knowledge that can be embraced daily, providing extra strength for victory.
The Christian in Complete Armour is certainly one of the greatest of all the Puritans' practical writings. This 3-volume paperback set is a modernized abridgement of the Puritan Classic by William Gurnall.
John Newton—"If I might read only one book beside the Bible, I would choose The Christian in Complete Armour."
C.H. Spurgeon—"Gurnall's work is peerless and priceless; every line is full of wisdom; every sentence is suggestive. I have often resorted to it when my own fire has been burning low, and I have seldom failed to find a glowing coal upon Gurnall's hearth."
J.C. Ryle—"A beautiful feature in Gurnall's book is its richness in pithy, pointed, and epigrammatical sayings. You will often find in a line and a half some great truth, put so concisely, and yet so fully, that you really marvel how so much thought could be got into so few words. Solid scriptural theology, like that contained in these pages, should be valued and studied in the church. Books in which Scripture is reverently regarded as the only rule of faith and practice—books in which Christ and the Holy Ghost have their rightful office—books in which justification, and sanctification, and regeneration, and faith, and grace, and holiness are clearly, distinctly, and accurately delineated and exhibited—these are the only books which do real good. Few things need reviving more than a taste for such books as these among readers."
David Wilkerson (author of The Cross and the Switchblade)—"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."
Free Presbyterian Magazine—"You could not buy a better work, nor get better value for your money."

 | Amazing! Jan 9, 2010 |
I am about to finish Volume I. I am not sure how to describe the book. I could use the standard adjectives such as convicting, powerful, thought-provoking, etc., but, I want to describe it better.
First, the topics contained in this book are themes rarely talked about. On the one hand they seem so basic and yet, most "sermons" today barely touch on these topics. What it means to be a Christian is a general theme that could be applied to this book. It is a manual...be prepared for...a boot camp of sorts...
If you want warm and fuzzy...cute stories, do not buy this book. But, if you want to learn, if you want to grow, if you want to mature, and if you want to be delighted in your heart because you are reading such wonderful truths, then go buy this book.

| I was so excited to receive my book in good condition as was advertised. The book itself is very valuable for every reader. The author is amazing. | | |  | Great content but no Table of Contents Mar 30, 2009 |
| Of course, Gurnall's work is a classic for the ages. Unfortunately, this comes without a Table of Contents. On an 1100 page work, this would certainly be welcomed. I can get this material off of the internet for free without a TOC. I expect better quality from this site! | | | | the christian in complete armor Dec 27, 2008 |
| thick book. this is not only for mature christians but to all levels of christian. | | | | Best classic work on spiritual warfare Feb 1, 2008 |
Compared to this great Puritan work, most modern books dealing with spiritual warfare appear dwarfed, and even trivial. Gurnall's massive exposition of Ephesians 6:10-20 is the product of a series of sermons preached in his church over many years. The book is at once profoundly biblical and at the same time always relevant.
William Gurnall lived during a time of great spiritual conflict in England, and this conflict directly led to the great civil war and the revolt against the king and his Church of England. Just as in the book of Revelation, where one's spiritual loyalties place him in deadly conflict, so in England, loyalty to Scripture placed Christians in the center of that nation's wars. Yet, while many followed the army's progress with great interest, Gurnall realized that an even greater conflict was being waged in their souls. As the pastor of the parish church at Lavenham, where he served all his active life in the ministry, Gurnall was more concerned with his people's souls than with the external progress of the conflicting parties in England. His long ministry encompassed the rise and fall of the Puritan cause. Because he remained in the Church of England after the Act of Uniformity, while thousands of strong Puritans withdrew and suffered as Nonconformists, Gurnall often was not respected by subsequent writers on both sides. His only lasting contribution to the struggle was his massive book, The Christian in Complete Armour.
Yet what a contribution that was! It was so popular with the people of England that it had passed through six editions by the year of his death. This book was a great blessing to John Newton, and was highly praised by Charles Haddon Spurgeon. It has continued over three hundred years inspiring Christians to stand against the devil. Gurnall begins with a call to realize that we are in a death-struggle with Satan and to take our stand and be prepared to fight. He then describes our armor and weapons, and the weapons employed by our great adversary. Each part of the armor is described at length, along with the means by which Christians can employ it in defense and offense against Satan. The book is full of spiritual insight, practical application, and inspiring word-pictures. We cannot read it without new determination to stand for the Lord and engage in true spiritual warfare--not the superficial warfare so often seen in the modern Charismatic movement, but the true and vital warfare of the Christian heart and life.
Gurnall's great book belongs in the library of every church and every Christian family. It makes wonderful devotional reading and produces spiritual fruit. Let Gurnall help you "fight the good fight of faith"! | | | Write your own review about Christian In Complete Armour 3V Set
