J. Henry Watson
Author of the Amazon Best Selling Book Called to Battle. And His Newest Book Armed for Battle.
J. Henry has been a pastor for over 30 years. His experiences span from pastoring established churches, a planted church, a home church network, and pioneering the first biker church in Massachusetts. During those years, he has faced numerous demonstrations of spiritual warfare.
Armed for Battle
Might, a weary demon-slayer, is disillusioned after watching too many pastors fall to pride. But when he meets Bartholomew—a troubled young man who sees the unseen—he discovers a spark of hope.
Together, their grueling trek along the Appalachian Trail forges them into soldiers for a hidden war.
Meanwhile, in the town of Whittenville, Pastor Jim Conwell braces for the return of Damon, a demon intent on destruction. A mysterious plague sweeps through the community, spreading fear and eroding faith as darkness tightens its grip.
Only a flawed band of prayer warriors—flawed, forgotten, but fierce—remains to hold the line. When Might’s faith begins to falter, he must rediscover what it means to truly trust God.
Will their prayers be strong enough to withstand the onslaught? Or will Whittenville’s soul be surrendered to the powers of darkness forever?

Reviews
“Watson offers a fascinating read that quickly captures the imagination and pulls at the heart-strings of those who love the Bride of Christ.
Though a work of fiction, Christians will quickly identify the challenges detailed in Called To Battle as part of the ongoing struggle of the Church in this sin-stained world. The beauty of the Local Church is exemplified as Watson weaves together a tapestry of wicked opposition and loving support.
The reader is left with a deeper desire to serve Christ in the Local Church and fulfill the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. May all who read this work be resolved to labor for Christ in His Church, standing strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.”

“As a church planter, missional pastor, [Armed for Battle] feels more fact than fiction. I find myself identifying things that have transpired or are transpiring in my own life, right now!
It has the clarity and flavor of the Screwtape Letters or Ishbane Conspiracy, while setting it in the current Spiritual Battle.
I’ve known the author many years and this second book is engaging and I hate putting it down. Recommended reading for anyone embarking on their own mission from God.”
