Doug,
Thanks for the book recommendation. Just wanted to add that I think that the battle is mostly an internal process; the Lord has made progress in the hearts of His children that may not be readily apparent to us, but is known to Him. When the testing time comes, then will our true colors show and those who have determined their willingness to sacrifice the things that the Lord requires will do so. It's like a chess game and He is getting things in place before He make His attack.

My thoughts ...
