How to defeat the Devi! (before he defeats you)

Satan is a very real person bent on your damnation. Are you prepared to resist his attacks?

While most people aren’t possessed -- or even harassed by Old Scratch the way some saints have been -- the Devil does try to gain power over everyone’s soul (including yours)! This book explores the one time that he revealed himself long enough to let you study his usual plan of attack, and gives you sure ways to counter it.

You need this information now if you’re going to fend off the Devil’s next attack. Until you have it, you’re vulnerable . . . especially to the dangerously subtle methods he uses against people like you, who know the Devil exists and are already on guard. The wisdom here will quickly strengthen you in your struggles against evil in all its forms.

About the Devil:

  • Why it’s foolhardy to deny his existence or to downplay his power to tempt you
  • How he often twists Scripture to serve his own evil purposes
  • How he uses your resistance to temptation to make his temptations more effective
  • About Christ:

  • How He reveals His love for you in permitting you to be tempted
  • How His loneliness in the desert can comfort you in your loneliness
  • How His responses to Satan show you how to respond to the temptations Satan places before you
  • About your own temptations:

  • Why absence of temptation is more dangerous to your soul than temptation itself
  • Why you need not grow discouraged in your struggle against strong temptations
  • How to tell which temptations you must resist and which ones you must simply flee

    “A very timely reminder for those who still don’t take the Devil seriously.”
    — Rev. Benedict Groeschel

    “An outstanding book that deals with the presence of evil and evil spirits and the superior force of the Holy Spirit in the spiritual warfare of our time.”
    — Rev. Michael Scanlan
