Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices

Puritan preacher Thomas Brooks treated the seductive influence and terrible power of Satan in a fuller and more complete way than in much of the literature of today. Brooks lists seven reasons for writing this book. The first reason is enough: Satan hath a greater influence upon men, and higher advantages over them than they think he hath, and the knowledge of his high advantage is the highway to disappoint him, and to render the soul strong in resisting, and happy in conquering. While Brook’s main point is the need for Christians to know their enemy, he also offers practical helps to withstand Satan’s devices in order to help us avoid sin, remain focused on Christian duties, and to remain joyful knowing Christ has equipped us with the armor of God.
