Scottsdale, AZ, – November 17, 2025 – In an era when the body of Christ is too often fractured by denominational lines, two very different voices have come together to sound a unified alarm: the enemy is at work, and the Church must stand together. Ian Faith, raised in England with roots in Catholic and Anglican traditions, and Galen Balinski, an American shaped by the Protestant and Southern Baptist world, have co-authored Confronting Evil in Our Time (ISBN 9798274398428), a 31-chapter devotional cultural commentary that deliberately bridges the theological and cultural divides that so often separate believers. A powerful witness to the unity Christ prayed for in John 17:20-23 “All be one.” They model what happens when brothers from opposite sides of the Atlantic and Christian tradition lay down secondary differences for the sake of the gospel.

Written in the spirit of Lewis’s masterpiece The Screwtape Letters, this devotional uses each of Screwtape’s original letters as a launching point to expose the subtle (and not-so-subtle) strategies of the enemy in today’s world. With Scripture, prayer, honest reflection, and unflinching cultural commentary, Faith and Balinski equip believers to recognize spiritual deception, resist temptation, and walk with clarity and courage in an age where truth is contested and good and evil often trade names.

From the very first chapter, readers will hear two distinct voices, English and American, contemplative and revivalist, speaking with one heart,” the authors write. “We have not hidden our differences; we have simply refused to let them silence the greater truth that all who call on the name of Jesus are called to the same battle.

This is not a companion guide or academic critique,” the authors emphasize. “It is a devotional field manual for the spiritual war we are already in. Our prayer is that readers will finish each chapter stirred in their hearts, strengthened in their faith, and better equipped to confront evil with truth and love.

Early readers are already praising the book:

“This devotional brilliantly extends Lewis’s work, unpacking demonic attacks with wisdom, Scripture, and the authors’ practical insights. It equips readers with hope for daily spiritual battles. Ideal for personal devotion or group study. A must-read!”

“More than just another book on The Screwtape Letters. Ian and Galen strike a rare balance between intellectual depth and practical application. Each chapter offers clear biblical grounding alongside relevant cultural commentary. Valuable for everyone from new believers to longtime students of theology.”
