Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church (Harper Collins, 2008) by N.T. Wright is a book written for ordinary Christians. He explains the historical evidence for the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, eschatology, and Kingdom work on earth. Wright makes the argument that many Christians have a muddled view of hope—that heaven is somewhere ‘out there’.
William Wilberforce's relentless campaign eventually led the British Parliament to ban the slave trade, in 1807, and to pass a law shortly after his death in 1833, making the entire institution of slavery illegal. But it is impossible to understand Wilberforce's long antislavery campaign without seeing it as part of a larger Christian impulse. The man who prodded Parliament so famously also wrote theological tracts, sponsored missionary and charitable works, and fought for what he called the "reformation of manners," a campaign against vice. This is the Wilberforce that Mr. Apted has played down.

This is probably the best book I've read on the topic of spiritual warfare. The book is based on scripture. Spurgeon discusses extensively the fact that we can defeat Satan through the power of the gospel. His writings are practical and he directs his focus to where he found Satan at work in the lives of people - enslaving them in sin, keeping them from the influence of the gospel, hindering their spiritual development, bringing discouragement, depression, and moral failure.
The finished diamond is one of the most beautiful and desirable gems.
