Not Theory but Practice
I could find no one part of Divinity more profitable in these times…than that which consisteth more in experience and practice, than in theory and speculation; and more principally tendeth to
the sanctification of the heart, than the informing of the judgement and the increasing of knowledge; and to the stirring up of all to the practice of what they k now in the duties of a godly life, and in bringing forth the fruits of faith in new obedience; than to fit them for discourse.
—John Downame "Guide to Godliness"

thanks for "introducing " me to another author to read…the search has begun
Kelly, if you click on the book cover picture, it will take you to the site that book is availble one. It has recently been republished, and is apparently a highly recommended book on spiritual warfare. I have no read it myself, but I know of folk who have.
