“As children of God, we’ve always been in a battle, but many of us didn’t realize its intensity until 2020. Now we know we’ve got to get our faith-boots fortified. This book is for such a time as now. Susie Larson is a fountain of ‘spiritual intelligence.’ As someone who learned to ‘stand up’ in my own soldier-boots through her wise counsel, I have walked with Susie as intercessor and friend for many years. I’ve witnessed her earning every drop of the rich encouragement you will glean from these pages. I don’t know another soul who keeps marching through the trenches under heavy artillery with such confidence in God’s promises—and with such integrity. (I’ve often also noted that her unique strength comes from having her husband, Kevin, standing beside her!) Everyone needs a friend like Susie to champion them on and help them walk victoriously through their own trenches. I highly recommend gathering sisters to grow Strong in Battle together.”

“Susie has been a longtime mentor to me through her writing and speaking but in recent years has become a dear friend. The way she lives her life in prayer, generosity, humility, and faith inspires me on an almost daily basis. She is a modern-day hero of the faith in my life. The Holy Spirit used this book to remind me how daily battles are won. Several times it reshaped my thinking and changed the course of my day for the better. No matter what you are facing, this book will help you win the daily battles in your life.” 

“Strong in Battle is such a true source of wisdom, knowledge, guidance, and encouragement because Susie is speaking from a place of experience, and not theory only. The writings and testimonies come from the heart of a woman who has truly encountered the Living God in the center of her enduring battles, upheavals, injustices, and sufferings. Her writing is in such real time that sometimes I feel she is speaking out while in the middle of the boxing ring still actively engaged in throwing and receiving punches! In the midst of this, Susie has seen the Lord up close, heard the Lord’s voice loudly and clearly, and most important, continues to lay her life down in surrender and sacrifice to gain the one thing that matters most—true heart intimacy with the Lord. Consistently living from that place, she is a clarion voice and a shining light. Her willingness to humble herself and bare her soul to her readers in a vulnerable way opens a floodgate of the very life, light, and love of Jesus, which becomes a touchpoint bringing forth healing! Her humility also allows her to issue bold and tough challenges to foster maturity in us as well. She is a rare treasure, and so is this book.”
