In the midst of evil currently blowing in our world today, Christians will do well to remember that the evil one still lurks, waiting to seduce those who belong to the Lord, seeking to destroy the testimony of their walk with God.

I read this on my Kindle after a free download (no longer available). It's quite a challenging look at spiritual warfare, and why godly or devout people sometimes do terrible things. Not that more ordinary folk are exempt, of course.

I found it a bit long-winded, and rather too casual in a very American style. But the essence of what the author writes about in this book is good, and well worth reading. The first section looks at how this kind of temptation (she calls it 'seduction', although it's not necessarily about relationships) can happen and why. The second section is about arming oneself against this kind of thing.

The final section is then intended for those who have already fallen into the quagmire, and are ready to climb out. It could also be useful for the family and friends of those who have fallen but aren't aware of it, or don't wish to move on. I skimmed most of this, as it didn't apply to me, but thought the section about healing the conscience was particularly good.

Recommended in a low-key way, if you don't mind the casual style and a fair amount of repetition. ( )

Beth Moore delved into the inner and hidden issues of human nature and Christian struggles. Her book was so powerfully written. The topic was gracefully dealt with and I learned much more than I'll ever be able to say. This book is a MUST READ TODAY book for all Christians everywhere. ( )

AMAZING! Right on target! Everyone needs to read this one. She hones in on scripture and applies it in the most applicable ways! Eye opening, comforting, convicting.... great study! ( )
