The Apostle Paul never stops at mere diagnosis of our ills and problems.

In this final volume, Lloyd-Jones details Ephesians’ spiritual warrior. He discusses the call to battle, morale, discipline, the whole armor of God, and many other important and practical aspects of our Christian struggle against the forces of darkness.
