The Believer’s Guide to Overcoming Temptation – Rick Astle

Jun 9, 2010

When we consider “temptation,” we are looking at a subject that affects every true Christian – every day! Therefore, when facing temptation, Christian soldiers need “basic training” regarding the identification and use of every weapon and resource available that will lead to victory in Jesus.

Believers will admit to giving in to temptation far too often, but many lack a biblical understanding of the subject and are unclear on how to sharpen their skills of resistance. Consequently, the enemy can and does successfully and continuously use the weapon of guilt against Christians due to repeated failure.

This book serves as a tool for the believer, providing practical steps – both proactive and reactive – for resisting the devil and his accomplices. It can also be studied in groups by using the discussion questions provided at the end of each chapter.

At last! Here is the guide you have been waiting for that will explain why and how you can be victorious when strong temptation arrives! May God be glorified and may you be strengthened as you apply the biblical truths on these pages!

Life on the Altar – Dr James B Law

The themes set forth in Romans 12, where believers are called to present themselves to God as living sacrifices, drive the conversation in this book. We are summoned to the altar of God’s presence through the finished work of Christ on our behalf. The Christian life is presenting ourselves to Him every moment, of every day, all the days of our life. This is what I am calling, “Life on the Altar.”

The pattern is repeated again and again throughout Scripture, yet is seldom (if ever) heard from our pulpits. Because I have found alliteration to be a great help to my memory, I began to assign alliterated words to this pattern of discipleship that seems to be repeated in Scripture.

This book is designed to walk you through the pattern used in Scripture that can be replicated in your life and in your church.

There is a distinct pattern that Jesus used in training His original twelve disciples. Jesus and the disciples employed the exact same pattern when they began to disciple the 70 and then again with the 120.

The pattern is repeated again and again throughout Scripture, yet is seldom (if ever) heard from our pulpits. Because I have found alliteration to be a great help to my memory, I began to assign alliterated words to this pattern of discipleship that seems to be repeated in Scripture.
