Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices: In Modern, Updated English
Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices is a timeless Christian classic written by Puritan preacher Thomas Brooks in 1652. We have updated this book into modern, updated English so you can understand exactly what Brooks wrote hundreds of years ago!
This insightful work offers believers practical guidance and spiritual wisdom to defend against the subtle and cunning strategies of Satan. Brooks outlines the specific methods Satan uses to ensnare and deceive Christians—whether through temptation, discouragement, or distraction—and provides biblically grounded remedies to combat these attacks.
Structured in a clear and accessible format, the book identifies various "devices" used by Satan, such as misleading thoughts, temptations of pride, fear, and worldly enticements, and equips readers with remedies based on Scripture, prayer, faith, and reliance on God’s promises. Each device is carefully explained with relevant biblical examples, and the countermeasures offered are both spiritually enriching and deeply practical for daily Christian living.
What sets Precious Remedies apart is its compassionate tone, as Brooks writes not just with theological precision, but also with pastoral care, encouraging believers to persist in faith and hope even in the midst of trials and temptations. For those seeking a deeper understanding of spiritual warfare, this book remains a crucial resource for strengthening one’s walk with Christ and standing firm against spiritual adversaries.

A Wealth of Family Book Description: Heartwarming and Inspirational True Story Shows the Power of Love
This compelling, bestselling account of adoption, reunion and heritage provides a timely and provocative perspective on multicultural families and powerful insights on overcoming racism and poverty.
Brooks grew up as the only child of a struggling single mother in inner-city Pittsburgh. He was battling racial stereotypes at school and searching for a place among his peers. Then he was told at age eleven that he had been adopted as an infant. He did not know it at the time, but Brooks had actually been born to a white biological mother who descended from Lithuanian Jews and a black Kenyan foreign student father.
Years after that stunning revelation, Brooks escaped the ghetto and traveled to search for his heritage. He found his biological mother in London with his previously unknown British siblings. He then located his biological father and extended family in Nairobi. His international search and the resulting reunions have profoundly affected three families in the United States, England, and Kenya.
