"In a well-timed re-presentation of John Bunyan's allegory, The Holy War, Duane Priset offers the reader thought-provoking discussion questions and powerful prayer suggestions that will prompt careful consideration of the meaning of the gospel of Jesus Christ in current personal, cultural, and ecclesiastical conflicts. Priset's brief and fascinating biography of Bun- yan in historical context sets the stage for the reappearance of Bunyan's brilliantly characterized figures such as Diabolus, Lord Willbewill, Mrs. Piety, Mr. Sloth, Captain Credence, Prince Emanuel, and many others in the spiritual struggle for good over evil, the eternal Kingdom of God over the forces of hell."
