Spiritual Warfare
Spiritual Warfare by Jed McKenna, published by Wisefool Press in November 2009, explores the profound challenges of personal transformation through a unique lens. This 438-page book presents the journey of a typical woman navigating the complexities of modern life, who receives an invitation to engage in a battle against her own limitations. The narrative delves into the intricacies of self-discovery and the often-overlooked realities of spiritual conflict, emphasizing the internal struggles that define our existence.
Readers will find a thought-provoking examination of spirituality and belief systems, as McKenna critiques the societal norms that bind individuals. The book invites reflection on the nature of fear and ignorance, positioning the reader as both a victim and a participant in the broader human experience. Through the stories of two women—one who resists the call to action and another who embraces it—the text challenges conventional views on spirituality and encourages a deeper understanding of the self. Spiritual Warfare serves as a compelling exploration of the mind-body connection and the philosophical underpinnings of belief, making it a significant addition to discussions on modern spirituality and personal growth.
Official synopsis Publisher
Guns and bombs are children’s toys. A true war wages, and you’re invited.
IT’S AN INVITATION you may not be able to accept if you want to, or decline if you don’t. It’s an invitation to fight in a war like no other; a war where loss is counted as gain, surrender as victory, and where the enemy you must face, an enemy of unimaginable superiority, is yourself.
In Spiritual Warfare, the metaphor of warfare rarely appears. Instead, we are presented with the living reality of a very normal woman – a wife and mother with a demanding career and high-stress lifestyle – and we see what happens when she receives an invitation that, try as she might, she can’t refuse. And we meet another woman, a woman who accepted the invitation and fought and won. In the closing chapters of this book, we attend her memorial service as Jed delivers her eulogy.
Spiritual Warfare issues a damning and irrefutable indictment of its own audience and genre, putting spirituality and religion themselves on trial. A terrible crime is being committed against humanity, a crime of oppression and subjugation far beyond Orwell’s 1984. We are the victims of this crime, but we are also its perpetrators. Our motive is fear, our sin is ignorance, and the chain in which we enslave ourselves is belief.
“Belief means not wanting to know what is true.” -Friedrich Nietzsche
Spiritual Warfare is a book for those who do want to know; people who want to escape from their dark asylum and experience a direct and authentic spirituality; people for whom it’s time to look, to think, to know, and, at long last, to put away childish things.
