What do believers do when faced with "impossible" situations? What if our arsenal of spiritual weapons contained both an offensive and defensive weapon--a weapon to bring victory over the powers that war against Christ and His Church? The good news is that there is indeed such a powerful weapon: the biblical duo of binding and loosing.

In this 20th anniversary edition of Binding & Loosing, Dr. K. Neill Foster and Dr. Paul L. King combine sound biblical and theological scholarship with decades of practical and effective real-life experience to present the proper and wise exercise of this spiritual authority, according to Matthew 16:19--when it is appropriate and when it is not. Study guide included.
