Jon thank you for this article. Ministry leaders and servants of all kinds need to hear this. While working with Celebrate Recovery we hear stories and see examples of Satans work all the time. It seems instead of drawing nearer to God people push away. Just what Satan wants.

Yeah, the manipulation of the mind is huge and believing things that aren't true.

A few other books I've been reading "Live No Lies" by John Mark Comer, "Screwtape Letters" by CS Lewis, and "Victory over Darkness" by Neil Anderson. Also wanting to read "Victory in Spiritual Warfare" by Tony Evans and "Satan a Defeated Foe" by Charles Spurgeon.

Appreciate the timeless truths, Jon. You might recall these themes from Pilgrim’s Progress excerpts read aloud to your junior high Sunday School class. :) You’ve learned well. - Steve E
