What readers are saying
“Theological. Wonder-evoking. Transformative. This is the story of creation retold with stunning depth and wonder. With vivid imagination and rich theological insight, The Battle for Heaven and Earth helps you make sense of the world around you and lifts your eyes to the Creator who holds it all together. If you’re looking for a book that will encourage you to trust the One who spoke everything into existence, this is the story for you.“
Louie Giglio
Pastor of Passion City Church
“The Battle for Heaven and Earth is a breathtaking saga that stirs the heart, galvanizes the imagination, and engages the intellect. Each chapter invites you into the picturesque dimension of the spiritual realm while simultaneously unveiling sound theological principles. This work kindles our spiritual appetite for God, heightens our appreciation for His eternal work, and then subtly recalibrates the way we live. It is for the young and the old, seasoned believers, and staunch skeptics, those who are just beginning to seek biblical truth, and those who already have a mature understanding of it. Wherever you are in the journey, Yarbrough and Jenkins’s masterpiece should be the next book you savor and enjoy.”
Priscilla Shirer
Bible Teacher and Author
“As a friend and former classmate, I have long admired Mark Yarbrough’s dedication to ministry and his commitment to teaching God’s Word. In The Battle for Heaven and Earth, Mark and Jerry Jenkins have crafted a compelling narrative that does more than tell a story. It invites readers to deeply engage with the beauty and truth of Scripture. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to strengthen their walk with the Lord.”
Ted Budd
North Carolina U.S. Senator
“Mark Yarbrough and Jerry Jenkins have crafted a captivating window into the unseen spiritual realm that aligns with the biblical narrative of creation and humanity's fall. The Battle for Heaven and Earth creatively brings to life the cosmic struggle between God’s faithful angels and Lucifer’s rebellion. In a genre akin to historical fiction, this true story of biblical origins combines core theological realities with a sanctified imagination to build our faith, increase our hope, and provide a much-needed perspective on the brokenness in our world.”
Chip Ingram
CEO & Teaching Pastor
“Wow! The combination of Mark Yarbrough’s theological strength and Jerry Jenkins’s ability to weave a narrative have collided in a compelling novel. The insights, wisdom, application, and “can’t put it down” feel makes The Battle for Heaven and Earth a must read. More than just a look into Heaven and creation that stretches our imagination, this novel will provide tools for spiritual growth today. Pick this book up fast and put it down slow.”
Gregg Matte
Pastor of Houston’s First Baptist Church
“In The Battle for Heaven and Earth, Mark Yarbrough and Jerry Jenkins imagine what the spiritual battle raging in the heavenly places looks like. Grounding their vivid storytelling in Scripture while giving full rein to holy imagination, the result is a gripping glimpse into the cosmic conflict between Lucifer’s minions and the loyal angels of heaven. Thrilling reading that does more than entertain—it is both thought-provoking and engaging—the story takes us through creation and the fall of man. It stirs the spirit and points us back to the truths of the Bible.”
Sammy Tippit
International Evangelist
“In The Battle for Heaven and Earth, Mark Yarbrough and Jerry Jenkins bring the both the pre-creation and the creation stories to life. The reader is compelled into the Sovereign’s reality. Your heart swells. Your mind expands. Your faith grows. As they remind us, the Lord is well aware—and well prepared—to redeem His creation. This is brilliant prose wrapped in the eternal truth of Scripture, for a culture that desperately needs reminding who this Creator God is—and of His redeeming reach toward all mankind.”
