Understanding Temptation: The War Within Your Heart

by Mark E. Shaw

We can find victory over sin and temptation when we know our own specific sinful tendencies, the power of the enemy, and what he uses to tempt us. Knowing our enemy's plan of attack can prepare our hearts to map out a strategy for overcoming temptation. Jesus was tempted in the same three basic ways in which we are We can do what we want (Lust of the Flesh) We can have what we want (Lust of the Eyes) We can be what we want (Pride of Life) Here you will find the biblical antidotes for each of these powerful temptations, and learn to be victorious over the temptations of the heart.

[Chris Bogstad · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great short and practical book on the lusts of flesh, eyes, and pride of life. He gives good examples of diagnosing our sinful hearts and how to fight against it by the power of God's word through the Holy Spirit.

This is the clearest and most helpful articulation for how to think about and indenting the motivation behind temptation that I’ve ever read.
