There was a time, Tozer writes, when our Christian forebears saw the world as it truly is: a battlefield. They knew that hell was a force pitted against God, heaven and righteousness. Tozer fears that now people think of the world as a playground, not a battleground. He exhorts us to appreciate the seriousness of the spiritual struggle we are all engaged in, but also to see it as a battle in which victory is certain.
