Bill Purvis had to be left for dead before he discovered that everything he was searching for could be found in Jesus Christ. As a teen, Purvis nearly died when stabbed three times by a pimp during an encounter with a prostitute. With his pericardium sac pierced, liver punctured and his jugular vein completely severed, he cried out to Jesus, who miraculously saved his life.

Pastor Bill Hybels believes that there is a new reality in America. The church has entered an era of growth and unprecedented spiritual opportunity to share the Gospel, yet at the same time we face a shrinking economy and a world in crisis. This poses a great resource challenge for the church. In order to reach out to people who are spiritually hungry, the church needs more people to be equipped to serve others. Hybels passionately believes the key to the future of the church is the equation "X (paid staff) + Y (volunteers) = Z (bearing much fruit for God’s glory)." Churches cannot afford to continue hiring more and more staff with limited budgets. The key to resourcing the church is what Hybels calls "the Y factor." The Y factor is the pool of volunteers in every church. The great need of the church is to grow the church’s volunteer base through the equipping ministry of church staffs. As churches recover the message of Ephesians 4:11-12 to "equip God’s people for works of service" they will launch a Volunteer Revolution. People are just waiting to discover the gifts and passions that God has given them to serve others and then be invited to use those gifts and passions through the local church in order to advance the kingdom of God on Earth. Hybels believes that every church staff should be helping people discover their spiritual gifts, passions and place of service in order to meet the growing needs in our churches and world. Hybels makes a clarion call to move beyond volunteer retention to volunteer acquisition. By attracting, connecting, training, and sustaining volunteers, churches will mobilize people into places of service that will bring new meaning to their lives and understand why God put them on planet Earth. Hybels also outlines how we can build lifelong volunteers in the church through community, celebration, and commendation.

It's time to embrace the power of the divine arsenal and triumph in every aspect of your life. After reading this book you will discover the secrets of activating the full power of the armor of God, equipping yourself to overcome every spiritual battle. Through fresh perspectives, practical insights, and powerful strategies, this book will empower you to wield your divine arsenal effectively and emerge victorious in the face of opposition. "Put on the armor of God" has become a battle cry in the church today, but most Christians have no clue how to put it on in a way that unleashes its supernatural, Holy Spirit power. They might have the pieces of the armor memorized, but what good are words if they are made lifeless by a lack of understanding or powerless by a lack of action? In Weapons of Our Warfare, the first book in his Spiritual Warfare Series, firebrand pastor Greg Locke plumbs the depths of this divine arsenal in fresh new ways that will transform believers' lives and equip them to defeat the enemy on every front. For anyone ready to suit up and boot up for Jesus and contend for the faith in these last of the last days, this book is a must-read.
