War in Heaven, written by Derek Prince, was published in 2003 by Chosen Books, a division of Baker House Company, P.O. Box 6287, Grand Rapids, MI. There are twelve chapters, an appendix, a subject index and a scripture index contained on 191 pages. Derek Prince was born in India of British parents. He was educated as a scholar of Greek and Latin at Eton College and Cambridge University, England where he held a Fellowship in Ancient and Modern Philosophy at Kings College. He also studied Hebrew and Aramaic, both at Cambridge University and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Derek Prince went home to be with his Lord Jesus in 2004.
The back cover of the book has this statement: "A Cosmic View of God's Plan - From Start to Finish! The Bible reveals that when God laid the foundations of the earth, the angels were watching. One of those angels would become the central figure in a rebellion to wrest God of His magnificent creation. Thus began a conflict of epic proportions that leaves today's believer with many questions.
Why did God allow evil in the first place?
If evil was defeated at the cross, why does it continue to exist?
Does spiritual warfare really make a difference?
How are we to await the end of the age?
In a fascinating, compelling exploration of Scripture, Bible teacher Derek Prince addresses these and other questions. Focusing on critical events that took place before the creation of Adam, he also describes Jesus' stunning over Satan.
But it is not over yet. Now more than ever is the time for God's people to engage in this battles! Take up your spiritual weapons and follow the King of Glory. Peace and assurance await you."

This book explores the fact that there are two spirit worlds in conflict with one another. Few Christians really understand that these two worlds are real and are in a serious struggle for control. They also fail to realize they are part of the army of God fighting this war. As Christians, we have a responsibility to be involved in properly combating this enemy of our souls. Every Christian should read this book and become aware of what it is we are called to do in this battle.
