I've been following your posts for a few months now and enjoying every single one of them. Translating The Art of War into spiritual terms makes a great deal of sense to me just now and even the posts where you admitted that you struggled with them are still resonating with me.

Each time I read your posts in this series they remind strongly of 'The Screwtape Letters' by CS Lewis. I had a strong urge to share it with you for a while actually. If you haven't read it - it's an account of a spiritual warfare for a soul of a man from the perspective of demons. Quite a page turner and extremely relevant to these discussions.

I hope that your inner war has its conclusion and that the peace is near!
