Countless people have found genuine freedom in Christ through the insights God has given Neil Anderson. Among them is my oldest son.

Reading Victory Over the Darkness has been the catalyst for numerous people on the journey of spiritual freedom in Christ. As part of our core curriculum studies, we encourage every new member of our church to complete Dr. Anderson’s Steps to Freedom in Christ. It is the book we offer to every person who desires spiritual counseling. I have seen the hope it brings for those who thought there was no hope for their lives. Even more amazing, I know the man behind the book, and he lives the life he proclaims.

The Lord has given Neil Anderson a marvelous counseling and discipleship model that is a genuine blessing to the Body of Christ.

Of the many things I appreciate about Neil Anderson’s ministry, his commitment to God’s Word tops my list. Neil goes to God’s Word to demonstrate that resolution in life is found in the Word of life because it points us to the Lord of life.

It is time for all of us to experience freedom in Christ! Dr. Neil Anderson shares solid biblical guidelines for how Christians can be used of God to help set the captives free.

Neil Anderson touches a nerve of vital need in the Body of Christ! His ministry in the arena of spiritual growth is sound-minded, trustworthy and—best of all—Christ-centered and Bible-based. I recommend him and his work.

Victory Over the Darkness was released at a time in my life when I desperately needed its message. I didn’t know how to fight back, and I didn’t know the authority I had in knowing who I was in Christ. This book profoundly impacted my awareness of spiritual warfare and helped me see things as they really are. I am forever grateful for this gift because it changed my life. I've given it away more times than I can count. Read it, and you’ll be doing the same thing.

Dr. Neil Anderson has done a masterful job of taking a rather complex truth and making it plain enough for all to understand and practical enough for all to experience. The principles in Victory Over the Darkness have helped us to disciple both old and new believers in our church. As a result, lives are being transformed by the power of God. Gerald Martin Pastor, Cornerstone Church and Ministries, Harrisonburg, Virginia When we first met Neil Anderson, we were impacted most by his pastors’ heart. He loves God, and he loves people. We’ve often laughed with one another and jokingly said that Neil says more over lunch than most pastors do in the sermons they spend a week preparing. He trained our intercessors in discipleship counseling, and they still experience the power of God when they walk people through the Steps to Freedom in Christ. Neil’s teaching on spiritual warfare is biblically sound, powerful and practical.
Pastor Tom and Leighann McCoy
Thompson Station Church, Thompson Station, Tennessee
Victory Over the Darkness is a much-needed book written for everyone who longs for spiritual growth and, even more, joyous spiritual victory in a dark world.
Robert L. Saucy

In Lombardi-like fashion, Neil Anderson has entered our locker room and re-introduced our “football,” reminding us of the power found in the fundamentals of our faith. Thank you, Neil, for pointing us toward God’s Word and the security and significance that is ours in Christ.
Ed Smith
President, Williamson College, Founder, Oxygen for Leaders, Inc.
When it seemed America was suffering addiction more than ever before, God raised up Neil Anderson to write Victory Over the Darkness to help people to walk through the steps to victory over addiction. I have used Neil’s steps to victory in my teaching at Liberty University, and I have outlined his Steps to Freedom in Christ in my writings. Praise God for the contribution of Neil Anderson to the Christian church and for the contribution of this awesome book.
Elmer L. Towns
Co-founder and Vice President, Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia
This book is as relevant today as when it was first released. New readers will find life-transforming insights and practical guidance on every page. It is still the first book I recommend to those who need to be grounded in their identity in Christ.

This book really is cool for people with mental problems
By Dona Mason
I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic Depression and am filing for Total Disability. I once made over $100,000.00 per year - now, I barely manage to function.
I was shopping for a self help book because I have always had problems with the question "Who am I?" In fact, the first question my new church councelor asked me is "Do you know who you are?"
My husband always told me to define myself by what I do; what I am able to produce. When I became sick with Fibro, I could only work (and do that at an extreme cost to my health) and my housework, being a good mother and wife went by the wayside. Then I couldn't even work, I was too sick. I quickly saw that defining myself by what I do/produce is not a true way to answer "Who am I" because if production defines a person, then I am already dead. As long as you are healthy and able to do things, you can try to convince yourself that is the answer, however, the moment you can't perform, you have just destroyed your own self worth.
My therapist tried to ask questions like "Are you kind?" to help me develop self-worth. For her, if you had good morals and were patient, kind, have self-control, etc, then that should give you self worth. Although I tried to be, I was not always kind (sometime I had road rage, sometimes I was impatient waiting in line when I was in a hurry, sometimes I over ate). Sometimes I was kind because of ulterior motives such as "this will help me sale this idea to my boss", "this will help me...". So I could quickly see that basing "who am I" on a relative system that constantly changed versus and absolute system was doomed.
This book tells you who you are. In fact, I took the scripures the author uses for "Who are You?"; "I am Significant"; and "I am secure" and typed them out in the new Message Bible. Now each morning, I read and pray these scriptures and my life is slowly but surely changing. Now, "Who am I" doesn't revolve around who everyone else says I am but who God says I am.
I recently underwent a visualization therapy where we were listening to ocean sounds and a therapist was taking the group through relaxation techniques (relax your toes, feel the muscles of your feet relax, etc) then he said, "I want you to go back to a time where you felt safe and secure". I started searching for that time through my childhood, teens, early marriage, young children, teen children, and now empty nest and I couldn't think of one time I felf safe and secure. I started to panic when I asked God to help me remember. Then I remembered the day I accepted Jesus as my savior. That was the one day, I felt safe and secure. Now, I get to read about being secure in God versus being secure in my self and this is helping me.
I never thought I was significant and with the Total Disability, I still have problems with this one - most people would say I am not significant because of my illness. But even with my problems, I am able to produce Godly fruit despite my problems. In fact, without having the problems, I would never have the oportunity to reach people who have some of my problems but don't have God to help them through them. So I see my significance through the scriptures.
I always wanted to write. It was the one goal of my life since age 9, but the publishing part scared me so bad that I couldn't write anything. Since reading about Goals versus Desires, I am able to write. In fact, this one chapter was worth the price of the book.
My church councelor recently gave me the homework assignment of writing down everyone who had hurt me, let me down, made me angry, etc. I plan to use the steps for forgiveness in the book for getting rid of this trash.
I plan to give this book for Christmas to those that are struggling. I think that they too are looking for help.

Good book on who we are in Christ.
By Erik Olson
"Victory Over The Darkness" was a book that I really looked forward to reading. I have been intrigued by the concept of being a new creation in Christ ever since I read "Alive for the First Time" by David Needham a couple of years ago. After seeing a video Mr. Anderson did about forgiveness in one of my seminary classes, I wanted to learn more about his ideas, since they seemed to echo Needham's. So it was with anticipation that I began reading this book.
Anderson's theme in "Victory Over The Darkness" is the Christian's status as a new creation in Jesus Christ. As Christians, we are alive in Him, and are no longer dead in our sins. We are spiritual beings - indwelt by the Holy Spirit and reliant upon his power. If this were not the case, then we would be unable to experience change on a fundamental, spiritual level. The title "Victory Over The Darkness" perfectly fits the book's central idea of our true standing as Christians - we are indeed victorious in Christ. However, a lot of Christians still live in unnecessary defeat, and play the same negative thought tapes over and over again. Anderson's desire is that we forsake these false internal messages for the vital truths found in Scripture.
An important aspect of "Victory Over the Darkness" is its heavy Scriptural basis. This is extremely important, because if there is nothing beyond us in which we can put our hope, then there is really no point in striving for radical internal change. If we are the highest beings in the universe, the only real imperative to change is conformation to societal mores and avoidance of legal penalties. The secular world's constant redefinition of right and wrong is not based on a foundational truth. What's wrong today can be right tomorrow, and vice versa. In such a society, the only necessary change is based on altering external behavior to achieve conformity. However, the existence of an unchanging, holy God characterized by love, grace, and holiness invalidates such a scenario. There is Something beyond us, a greater reality that is based on true perfection. God is concerned with internal change in us based on His righteousness. These changes serve to produce external actions which glorify Him. Therefore, it is absolutely imperative that we have a deep knowledge of Scripture, for it is our main method of knowing and relating to God and man in a loving manner. This point cannot be stressed enough.
I found a number of Anderson's practical recommendations to be eminently useful. First, his admonition for us to forgive is key, and he backs it up with solid Scriptural quotations. Too often we are in bondage to the hurts of the past, and we miss out on God's forgiveness and freedom if we fail to forgive (Matt. 6:14-15). There are some people that I continually need to forgive, and I know that I run to God for forgiveness quite often. Unforgiveness on my part hinders my relationship with God, and that's a scary proposition. Better to forgive (or seek forgiveness) and be free to live a redeemed life, rather than remain in fatal bondage to pride and bitterness. Second, Anderson's insights into rejection are also important, especially since many people fear it and live their lives accordingly. I have had my share of rejection, and it's very hurtful. But fear of rejection inevitably produces the sin of self-protection, and that's ultimately even worse than any rejection can ever be. That's because we miss out on the kind of true love that can only be had by taking relational risks. The principle of "high risk, high return" applies. These actions are easier said than done, of course, and they are often part of a long, difficult healing process. But they are necessary applications on our part, and their importance cannot be denied.
I have to say that the lessons in this book are not a quick solution to any problem. They are based on having a love relationship with Christ, and not on a list of do's and don'ts that guarantee emotional health overnight. God usually takes time working change in our lives, and ultimately He is in control of any internal change. But I know that He does want us to have the fruits of the Spirit (see Galatians), so there is hope for our hurts - even if they remain in order to make us rely on His grace. I recommend that this book be read in conjunction with "Inside Out", "From Bondage to Bonding", and "The Search for Significance." The Scriptural truths in these four books are liberating and healing.

By dramagirl
I hardly know where to begin. About 4 years ago I discovered the "Victory Over Darkness Series". The second book in the series is called "The Bondage Breaker". Workbooks and videos can be ordered to go along with the books, although I have never seen the videos listed on Amazon. I could write volumes on the benefits of these two books, but I will try to put it in a nutshell. As a born-again christian have you ever struggled with habitual sins(lying, gossiping, harsh attitudes, anger, resentment, bitterness, envy, smoking, drinking, drugs, eating disorders, rebellion, PRIDE, overwhelming feelings of fear or even suicide etc...)? Do you find yourself giving into negative thoughts about yourself or your relationship with God. Do you hear nagging thoughts in your head like, you are so stupid, you are so dumb, you will never amount to anything? Neil T. Anderson in "Victory Over The Darkness" explains the importance of understanding who you are in Christ to overcome these negative ways of thinking. In fact this Biblical principle is crucial in your walk with Christ. He teaches you how to become the person our Lord wants you to be. This is no new revelation, it's just Biblical principles that are rarely taught in most churches today. Even when it is taught it is not explained in detail the way Mr. Anderson lays it out for you. He teaches you scripturally the importance of learning not only that you are loved by God, but that you are equally and fully accepted by HIM. Our Heavely Father never approves of our sins, but he wholeheartly approves of you as HIS child. Mr. Anderson shows you how to leave the guilt of your past sins behind and begin to enjoy your FREEDOM in who you are in Christ. Christ not only paid the price for mine and your sins, BUT HE ALSO LIFTED THE BURDEN of that sin. We as Christians seem to drag THAT BURDEN along with us everywhere we go. Anderson's instruction teaches you how to leave it ALL at the alter of God and not pick it up and carry the load all over again. This book is a powerful desription of what ALL Christ's death on the cross has DONE for you. I realize many chritians will look at a book like this and say, I don't need this, I am o'kay, I can handle the things I am going through alone. NO YOU CAN'T. Scripture discribes Satan as a ROARING LION out seeking whom he may devour. This book teaches the importance of preparing yourself for the spiritual war (Ephesians 6:11-18)that you are already apart of, but maybe have never been aware of. "Dear Mr. Anderson thank you for directing me to the scriptures that freed me from the bondage I had been in for over 20 years".
