John MacArthur’s most recent book is about a war. It’s not focused on a war that pits one nation against another. This war isn’t fought on a traditional battlefield or with guns and tanks. Still, this war is devastating. In fact, you could argue that this war will, by the time it’s over, take more lives than all the wars any country, including America, has fought. Tragically, this war against children has dramatically expanded in recent years, with devastating effects on society. John MacArthur chronicles this far-reaching attack in his new book The War on Children. He also describes how any Christian family can shield their children from the enemy’s attacks, and, ultimately, win the fight against those who, like Satan, hate children and the hope they represent.
If you are a pastor, God has called you to proclaim His truth about children: they are a gift from the Lord, they are born sinners, and their greatest need, next to the Savior, is a mom and dad who will love and protect them. The War on Children equips pastors for this high calling. It is also a clarion call for Christian parents. As John MacArthur writes, “Christian parents cannot simply float passively along with the drift of our culture…. As God’s people we need to teach our children God’s Word; train them in righteousness; participate in every aspect of their lives; give them wise and biblically based guidance; and above all, give them our extravagant love” (MacArthur, The War on Children, xiii).
Whether you’re a pastor, parent, husband, wife, or single Christian, this book will help you understand this war and its implications for the church.
