Riassunto

"Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices" by Thomas Brooks ranks right up there with "Pilgrim's Progress" in terms of time-honored Puritan classics. This book is a must-read for every Christian, especially those who are struggling or tampering with sin. Satan hates "Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices" because it exposes his methods. More than that, it offers biblical methods to avoid and overcome temptation. The message and content of "Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices" are as useful today as they were many ages ago when it was written. The profound depths of insight that Thomas Brooks delivers makes it worthy of reading over and over again. This book is similar to C.S. Lewis' "The Screwtape Letters" in that it exposes the schemes which so frequently work against God's people. Whether you are downhearted, unsure about the topic of spiritual warfare, or want to successfully battle pride, unbelief, or lust, this book has it all. "Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices" includes tips on how to uplift and purify the thoughts, and how to fight more fiercely against the sin that so easily taints our hearts and minds. Though written years ago, it is extremely relevant to our time. The remedies are unabashedly from God's written Word and are effective "treatment" for the issues at hand. "Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices" can be used as a devotional, discipleship reading, or tool for counseling.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Thomas Brooks (1608—1680) was an English non-conformist Puritan preacher and author. Much of what is known about Thomas Brooks has been ascertained from his writings. Born, likely to well-to-do parents, in 1608, Brooks entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1625, where he was preceded by such men as Thomas Hooker, John Cotton, and Thomas Shepard. He was licensed as a preacher of the Gospel by 1640. Before that date, he appears to have spent a number of years at sea, probably as a chaplain with the fleet. After the conclusion of the First English Civil War, Thomas Brooks became minister at Thomas Apostle's, London, and was sufficiently renowned to be chosen as preacher before the House of Commons on December 26, 1648. His sermon was afterwards published under the title, 'God's Delight in the Progress of the Upright', the text being Psalm 44:18: 'Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy way'. Three or four years afterwards, he transferred to St. Margaret's, Fish-street Hill, London. In 1662, he fell victim to the notorious Act of Uniformity, but he appears to have remained in his parish and to have preached as opportunity arose. Treatises continued to flow from his pen.

Product Description:

Brooks treated the seductive influence and terrible power of Satan in a way 'greatly more full and suggestive than in the literature of the present day'.
