“If I might read only one book beside the Bible, I would choose The Christian in Complete Armour.” — John Newton, 17th century English pastor and author of the hymn Amazing Grace. 

“Gurnall’s work is peerless and priceless; every line is full of wisdom; every sentence is suggestive. The whole book has been preached over scores of times, and is, in our judgement, the best thought-breeder in all our library.” (Charles Spurgeon).

The book is a vast collection of sermons on Ephesians 6:10-20, on being “strong in the Lord.”

“The world is a battleground, the Christian life a warfare, the devil an enemy. Sin makes us vulnerable, but Christ provides well-tested armour and assures His people of victory. This is the biblical and Puritan view of the life of faith, and few authors have understood it more accurately or described it more vividly than William Gurnall.

Generation after generation of Christians have found wise counsel and lasting encouragement in the pages of Gurnall’s grand book.
