I read your book....

[General Patton outmaneuvering Rommel whose campaign in North Africa earned Rommel the nickname "The Desert Fox.")

Patton: [referring to Rommel's book, Infantry Attack)

"Rommel... you magnificent ******d, I read your book!"

General Patton beat Rommel by understanding his methods, by reading his book.
Infantry Attacks

We too have a foe to defeat. We also have a Book on how to deal with him, and an understanding that he lost the war by the cross of Jesus Christ.

For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
He rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him. - Martin Luther, A Mighty Fortress

The little word is TRUTH. Where do you find the truth? In the Bible where Jesus says He is the Truth. Alleluia!
