Excellent study. Know your enemy!

This is an excellent Biblical study on the Devil, his character, agenda and the methods he uses against the Christian in the realm of spiritual warfare.Without an understanding of Satan, his person, his plans, programs and devices, we are ill prepared for his attacks and the devious methods that he uses.The author exposes the Devil for who he really is and for what he really is.This is an excellent study of Satan from a Biblical & Christian perspective from the Fall and the traits of Satan's character as a 'deceiver', 'perverter', 'imitator', 'lawless one', 'rebel', tempter' and a 'roaring lion'. Also examined are Satan's attacks upon the Christian, the Beliver's Authority over Satan in the Name of Jesus Christ and ultimately Satan's final destiny.Little is heard or taught about Satan and the spiritual realm today. Sadly this is also true in many Churches. This in itself is one of the very agendas pursued by the Devil, as is denial of his existence which allows him, in many cases, a free hand to operate as he would like.This is an absolute must-read on this subject. Highly recommended.
