The Devil's Diary

by Mark Winter

What if Satan kept a journal? This is the premise of The Devil’s Diary, which includes 40 entries written by the Evil One as he matches wits with his “adversary,” the Son of God. Each daily entry begins with a scripture. The entry that follows will reflect Satan’s thoughts and actions based on that passage and other scriptural accounts. After every entry, you will find a section that asks, “What’s going on?” Here you will gain information relevant to Satan’s journal report, such as geography, cultural norms, and word studies.
Finally, “Points to ponder” dig even deeper, leading to questions that are appropriate for individual reflection or group discussion. This is the section where the “rubber meets the road,” giving you insight into the wiles of the devil and helping you put on the full armor of God to repel the fiery darts of evil (Ephesians 6:10-18). http://www.onemanshow.org/store/

[Wendie Barney Boucher · Rating 2 out of 5]

I received a copy of this book through a goodreads contest. I have to begin with while I gave the book two stars it was very well written and put together. The rating is strictly based on my personal view of the topic and I'm not exactly sure what my expectations were for this book to begin with . . . . I thought the premise of the book was interesting, what if Satan kept a diary. So, I was expecting a lot of "insight" in how Satan would view certain events or actions. However, I felt quite let down when for the most part I spent my time reading an explanation on what was happening and points to ponder. I felt like I was spending more time reading about what I should be thinking about instead of being allowed to consider the point of view of the "devil" the author was trying to give. I did find the questions at the end of points to ponder interesting, however I again felt almost as if I was being preached to while reading. Perhaps part of the problem is I am not a deeply religious person and so at times felt like the questions were trying to force ideas on me. I believe others will give the book a much higher rating as I think I just had a different set of expectation for the book than what was presented.
