Review Summary: Forgiveness-The Way to Remain in God's Will! |

Details: To remain in God's Will which is His Protection and Blessings upon our life; we must understand THE BAIT OF SATAN, his traps, tricks, and tactics. His bait includes every offense that we do not release, let it go, let it drop, forgive and forget. This pulls us out of the Will of God. Satan knows how easy it is for mankind to hold on to grudges. He will do everything in his power to remind us of all the injustices done to us, real or imaginary. He knows fully well that when we allow an offense to remain in our hearts, it allows him room to move in. When we become offended we are trapped and don't even know it. Unforgiveness is costly. It puts me in prison, takes away the protection of God, and blocks the power of God in my life. It is true that the world needs more love. However the world will only experience more love when the world experiences more forgiveness. Every book that John Bevere writes will be a blessing to all who read it and apply its principles to their lives. |

Details: John Bevere tackles a deep problem throughout the Body of Christ in "The Bait of Satan". This book will help any church or individual grow and face a major problem of unforgiveness and offenses. Don't let offense become a fence in your life and trap you in. Get this book! It is required reading for our church membership class and it will save you and your local body a lot of grief (his other books are great too). |

Review Summary: The Bait of Satan |

Details: In the past twelve months I have studied this book twice in two different classes. We used the study guide in the second class. This is a MUST study for Christians of every maturity level. In the last days Many will be offended, inside of the church. We cannot afford to allow Satan to hinder us by keeping us bound by offence and bitterness and this book holds the keys to the freedom we all desire in Christ. If I could, I would put a Bible in one hand of a new Christian and this book in the other hand. |

Details: This is a book that exposes an effective device of Satan -- a device that can put walls between you and God, and block your prayers. Yes, the Bible says this can and will happen. By reading this book, you will learn how to recognize this device, and how to defend against it. My home study (cell) group recently completed both the book and study guide. The subject matter -- and John Bevere's honest and direct treatment of our Lord's teachings on forgiving others AND OURSELVES, as well as avoiding offense -- mended lives in our group of about 15. Many were healed of emotional wounds, and released from anger and bitterness. Broken relationships were reconciled. We saw walls come down in two churches through renewed fellowship because of truths revealed in this book. Our pastor read the book and not only endorsed it but preached a sermon on its contents. This book is essential reading for every serious Christian. It will get you into the Bible and show you truths you may have overlooked. Most important, it can set you on a path toward improved relationships with your spouse, your family, and your friends -- and a closer relationship with the Lord! 5 stars and two thumbs up! |

Review Summary: Root of Bitterness |
Date: 2006-05-20 |

Details: I am reading 'The Bait of Satan' and it is speaking volumes to my spirit. John is not saying that is is a sin to be offended, I believe he is saying that it is a sin to remain offended.
"Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be defiled;" Hebrews 12:14-15.
A 'root of bitterness' occurs when we are not living in peace with all men even if those we are not at peace with do not know it. I see no problem with John's book especially if you are secure in your salvation. |
