There is a war most people never see.

It is older than every nation.

It began before the first murder.

It explains why darkness fights the Gospel wherever it is preached.

It is the Shadow War.

From the Garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem, Satan has opposed God’s mission to save people. Behind persecution, deception, false religion, spiritual blindness, and attacks against the church stands an ancient enemy determined to stop God’s redemptive plan.

But he has already lost.

In Shadow War, missionary and Bible teacher John O’Malley takes readers on a sweeping journey through Scripture to expose Satan’s strategies and magnify Christ’s victory.

You will discover:

• Why missions began in the heart of God before the foundation of the world.

• How Satan has attacked God’s plan in every generation.

• What Satan can—and cannot—do.

• Why Israel remains central to God’s prophetic program.

• How Christ defeated the kingdom of darkness through the cross and resurrection.

• Why the Great Commission cannot fail.

• How every believer can stand confidently in spiritual warfare.

Rather than creating fear or fascination with the enemy, Shadow War fixes your attention where Scripture does—on Jesus Christ, the victorious King who is gathering a redeemed people from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation.

Whether you are a pastor, missionary, Bible teacher, church leader, or believer seeking a deeper understanding of spiritual warfare, this book will strengthen your confidence in God’s Word, deepen your passion for world missions, and remind you that the outcome of the battle has already been decided.

The battle is real.
The mission is God’s.
The victory is certain.
