With his famous histories of salvation already translated into twelve languages and given the unstinted praise of evangelical leaders around the world, Erich Sauer has established himself as one of the most influential evangelical writers of our time. This book by Erich Sauer, an altogether different effort than his previous studies, is addressed to the most urgent need of our times, and is the author's prescription, based on Hebrews 12, for a consecrated life. Like an athlete in an arena striving for a great prize, the Christian is locked in a fearful struggle which there is no escaping. Nothing less than the fully consecrated life urged in this eloquent book, the reader is persuaded, will ever be adequate to the always pressing need to "fight the good fight of faith." Aimed at the needs of the Christian wayfarer, and all those who feel the necessity of re-consecrating their lives, In the Arena of Faith is a book whose challenge animates the courage and gives inspiration and hope to all. It will have an immediate appeal to the many thousands of Erich Sauer readers, and, as a vitalizing prescription for the moral sickness of our times, is sure to find many new thousands of readers. "Here," says F. F. Bruce, "is a real stimulus for Christian faith and action."
