Overcoming temptation

Rate this book
A must-have resource for the Christian in order to overcome temptation. Whether this book is relevant at the moment is inconsequential; your situation can change without notice. The gales of adversity appear abruptly, and nothing you do can prevent them. This book surveys mankind's age-old and constant temptation. Ironically, this companion is not a colleague of choice. Conversely, this companion is an intruder of ultimate magnitude, a prowler of devastating potential. The Scripture describes the tempter as a roaring lion and admonishes the believer on how to respond. An African proverb well describes the law of survival. "Every day in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be running." In this book, Christian pastor and award winning author Larry Arrowood offers biblical and practical instructions for the Christian to become an overcomer.

Overcoming Temptation is a powerful and practical guide that blends biblical truth with real-life wisdom. Larry Arrowood’s writing is both convicting and encouraging, he doesn’t just point out the traps of life, he gives you the tools to rise above them. The lion-and-gazelle analogy alone is worth the read, and the Scripture-based insights are timely for any believer. A must-have resource for staying spiritually strong no matter what storms come.
