The Bait of Satan, 20th Anniversary Edition: Living Free from the Deadly Trap of Offense

Product Information

There is just no question that for the Christian we are required to forgive, it's simply not optional. John Bevere does well by citing the numerous passages in the Bible that say this. And, yes, the Bible is clear that unless and until we forgive it's like we're put into a prison of resentment where we hold the key[1] And yes, the Bible is clear that if we refuse to forgive then a root of bitterness can set in that may defile many. And yes, forgiveness is like forgiving a debt that's owed you - it is YOUR choice to give that gift to your debtors. Forgiveness IS a choice.[2] All this is good and true. And you now have the nuggets of truth that this book contains. If all the body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If all hearing, where would be the smelling?

Forgiveness is the central theme of the Gospel message. If we want to enjoy the fullness of our life in Christ, we must embrace His example and forgive others. One way the enemy keeps a person in an offended state is to keep the offense hidden, cloaked with pride.Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!" And if the ear shall say, “Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body”; is it therefore not of the body? A good read for anytime of the year, but it would make a great book to read during the Lenten season as a group or individually. My copy of the book was the 10th anniversary edition that contained a 30 day devotional supplement. The supplement ties into the main chapters of the book and is a workbook with space to write thoughts.

If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than to have two hands or two feet and to be thrown into the eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into the hell of fire."

It’s been going on two years since we last heard from you. How are things? Where are you at spiritually? Did you find work? John Bevere is a christian writter, he has written also more books in this field of his expertice!! God never created us to live separately and independently of each other. He likes it when His children care for and nurture each other. He is frustrated when we...feel sorry for ourselves; making everyone else responsible for our happiness...an isolated person seeks only his own desire, not God’s. He receives no counsel and sets himself up for deception.” (p. 55) In this twentieth anniversary edition, John Bevere shows you how to identify the traps ahead of you and escape the victim mentality. With declaration-style prayers and testimonials from people whose lives have been changed by his message, this book will inspire you to stay free from offense and its destructive power.

I really liked the title, The Bait of Satan. It’s a catchy title but very true on how Satan tries to separate us from God. As the author, John Bevere points out that the things in life that seem so innocent, really aren’t very innocent, but are Satan’s lies and traps.He says that group number two often is guided by inaccurate and distorted information, and they are hurt and their understanding is darkened because they judge by assumption, appearance and hearsay.
