Inside-Outside War

Time stood still the night Kathy Mansfield received the call from her son Nathanael notifying her of his deployment to Iraq. In Inside-Outside War, author Kathy Mansfield shares the story of her son's experiences in Iraq, beginning an insightful exploration of real war and spiritual war. She delves into the doubts, fears, and perplexities experienced by her son in the war zone and the spiritual lessons she learned while waiting and praying at home.

As Nathanael fought a physical war, Mansfield observed life and discovered there is another war being fought against an unseen enemy. As humans, we fight a war against a deep dark enemy, an enemy that wants our eternal soul. In Inside-Outside War, Mansfield parallels her son's physical war experience with our spiritual war battles.

Honest and self-disclosing, Inside-Outside War paints a picture of the dualism of physical and spiritual warfare and the cost of both. The gift of freedom once taken for granted is seen in a different light when young men and women fight to defend it.
