CRI Resource: The Art of Unseen Warfare: Ancient Teachings for the Modern Fighter

Written over the course of two decades as a spiritual manual for his daughters, Death To The World founder and Youth Of The Apocalypse author Justin Marler takes his readers on a journey into the teachings of the Orthodox Church on spiritual warfare. Beginning from a foundation in Holy Scripture and building on the ancient wisdom of Egyptian monks, Russian mystics, and Byzantine theologians, this book lays out the apostolic Christian teaching about human psychology to equip modern-day warriors in their struggle for sainthood. Marler draws extensively on the words of the saints and other holy people to explain the anatomy of the soul, describe the formation of sin and the passions, and counsel on how to take command of our thoughts and desires in order to acquire life-saving virtues. The result is an easy-to-understand handbook that sets forth the teachings of the saints concerning our broken human condition and how to heal this brokenness through a life lived for Christ in invisible spiritual struggle—in other words, through unseen warfare.
