Unseen: Angels, Satan, Heaven, Hell, and Winning the Battle for Eternity
When Dr. Jack Graham was twenty years old, he got the phone call
no one wants to receive. His father had been ruthlessly attacked,
and it became clear to young Jack that invisible forces of evil
were involved. He realized he needed to take the spiritual world
more seriously, because the real battles we face in life are
between the powers of good and evil...literally the armies of
heaven and hell.
Through compelling stories, practical guidance, and biblical truth,
Dr. Graham challenges popular opinions and persistent folklore
about heaven and hell, good and evil, angels and Satan. You will
come away from this book enlightened about the supernatural world
and encouraged that God can provide protection, provision, and
power for whatever lies ahead.
Each chapter includes questions for group discussion or individual
reflection. Free online small-group curriculum is also
available.

Top Highlights
“We’ve come full circle, back to the admonition of Christ to deny yourself. To be guided by our own will is to be led by that which will one day cease to exist; it is only by inviting God’s will, God’s ways that eternal satisfaction is ours. It is only by laying our own lives down that we pick up the abundance we so desperately crave.” (source)
“I suppose this is what I want to say to you, as you consider concerning yourself with the invisible realm: If you truly desire spiritual eyesight—if you crave eyes that really see—then God will answer that desire with keen vision and will also show you things you’ve not seen. He will help you make sense of the life you’re living. He will lend wisdom to your questioning heart.” (source)
“Devoted followers of Christ stand their ground. They prepare for battle ahead of time and engage when Satan provokes. Even when they don’t understand the circumstances involved in the fight—and certainly, there are many mysteries in the invisible realm that confound us, anger us, and leave us grasping for answers—they plant their feet on God’s unchanging promises, on his assurance that he is present and he cares.” (source)
“This gospel—the ‘good news’ that by grace, through Christ, we can be saved from the consequences of our sin—stabilizes us by assuring us that when we surrender our lives to Jesus, our future is secure. We live at peace with God, both now and for all of eternity. We aren’t exempt from challenging circumstances, but we know God’s presence and power as we walk through them.” (source)
