Assaulting the GatesAssaulting the Gates:
Aiming All God’s People at the Mission Field
By Paul Borden (Abingdon, 2009)

“If our Lord created the Church and promised it would grow in order that the Evil One and his minions not prevail, then leading congregations to health and growth definitely involves spiritual warfare. … When it comes to the battle for souls, the Church is losing by a landslide. It requires a spiritual battle to change this phenomenon. And those who take on this assault must be prepared.” –Paul Borden, from the book
