David K Kortje’s „THE UNSEEN WAR Winning the Fight For Life“ is a 151 page edition beginning with these words from the writer: So many have contributed so much in this life that God has given me. After listing those who have helped the writer in his journey for the project he mentions the readers, that is nice, I rarely see readers included in lists of those who contribute.

In the Preface the writer mentions that he cannot sleep, it is 4 a.m. and now he is awake and considering why when he asks, -Lord, do you want something-. It was that moment, he states, which led to the writer receiving a clear answer from God. The result of his question and answer resulted in six months of thinking, writing and at last offering „THE UNSEEN WAR Winning the Fight For Life“ to the reader.

That Physician David Kortje has a deep, prevailing, confidence in God, coupled to a highly understandable writing style becomes evident from the outset of chapter 1.

Kortje’s „THE UNSEEN WAR Winning the Fight For Life“ is set down as Acknowledgements, Preface and 14 Chapters listing, The Red Pill, Gerry, Paradigm, No Ordinary Guy, Flesh, Light, Ears, Together, Surrender, Wounds, Retreat, Boot Camp, Casualties, Why.

Chapters are prefaced with a Biblical quote followed by Kortje’s own words. Chapter one, The Red Pill states an often little thought about obvious which does bear repeating: Life is hard. The writer points out that yes, life is hard, and life is a time of struggle, hassle and complication, plus the writer feels, as one becomes closer to God, the struggles, hassles and complications only increase.

From that beginning Kortje explores his understanding that Christians are in warfare against a real, if unseen, enemy. The writer talks about Temptation, Creativity and Authority, he discusses the Sons of God, Heart Issues, in addition to, Paul and his prayer that Christ give Christians a Spirit of Wisdom. What is God Doing, is asked and answered, Jesus’ relationship with mankind as detailed in the Gospel of John is explained, along with an explanation to the question Why is addressed.

On the pages of „THE UNSEEN WAR Winning the Fight For Life“; Writer Kortje explains why he feels Spiritual warfare is one of the least considered aspects of the Christian life, even though, he reveals, it may be one of the most noteworthy aspects to be considered. Kortje is convinced that the lack of concern is due at least in part to what he considers to be a gross underestimation of the situation causing many Christians fall prey to demonic manipulations.

Writer David Kortje, states in plain terms that he is convinced that there is an enemy who hates mankind, and why.

Rather than a feel good book encouraging readers to believe that Christians must only believe and all will be well; Kortje is upfront in his belief that there are times when no matter how deeply the reader believes, how often the Christian prays, confesses, hopes or thinks, bad things can and do happen. That is a difficult truth to consider. Kortje is quick to point out that even in the midst of all; Jesus remains close and provides grace to see the reader through the hard times as well as the good.

Kortje’s „THE UNSEEN WAR Winning the Fight For Life“ is a understandable, enlightening book, filled with a potent message of hope coupled to imagery intended to awaken readers from a religious stupor in preparation for their facing a real battle with a determined, unseen foe who will throw roadblocks, misunderstandings and half truths in their path.

Focus of this work is; the war Fundamentalist Christians are taught, must be waged with Satan coupled with the writer’s understanding that God does call upon His people to do His work.

David K Kortje’s „THE UNSEEN WAR Winning the Fight For Life“ is a well written, edifying work sure to be well received by the Christian reader who is seeking meaning and hope especially in time of struggle.

Happy to recommend David K Kortje’s „THE UNSEEN WAR Winning the Fight For Life“.
