BAIT OF SATAN is a Powerful, Challenging Book that Every Christian Should Read ! August 21, 2008 When I first heard of this book, I thought, "What a weird title." Surely this book was just another of the Christian mystic genre that I had no interest in. But when I got into it, what I found was a gut-wrenching challenge to crucify my pride.
John Bevere's Bait of Satan challenges us to guard our hearts from holding on to grudges, emotional wounds, bitterness, and offenses. No easy task, this challenge strikes at the heart of our commitment to "forgive as we are forgiven".
This topic is largely neglected in Christian writings and preaching, so (in my humble opinion) Bevere's work has earned its place as necessary reading in basic Christian living. It is well written, easy to read, but difficult to digest. It deserves to be read once a year. This is how spiritually challenging it is. It is one of those books you have to pray through while reading it. And don't forget your highlighter!
I ususally yawn when I hear people say, "Next to the Bible, you need to read this book." Yet after reading it, that is exactly how I feel about BAIT OF SATAN. Next to the Bible, its the most challenging and spiritually practical book I've studied. You won't be disappointed.
If you are human you need to read this book July 4, 2008 The Holy Spirit will move through them who begin reading this book in their spirit (the one we walk to according to the Word of God) and bring all who were in relationships of offense with the reader to reconcilliation with Jesus Christ - and will do it BEFORE the author does so at the end of the book. This author in relationship to The Author and Finisher of our Faith saves life.

The Bait of Satan: Living Free from the Deadly Trap of Offense This Book is founded on scripture and the life experiences of the Author John Bevere. . A must Read for all Christians. I gave the Book to my Pastor for his Birthday and Now he has the entire Church reading it and he is Teaching the principles to the Church so we can go to the next level Spiritually.
