A guide to spiritual self-defense. Drawing on scripture and the words of latter-day prophets, it exposes the adversary's traps, from pride and flattery to the slow silencing of prayer, and shows how to recognize each one before it closes. It marks where his power ends, and how to stand firm in the strength of Jesus Christ.

About this book

"For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things" (2 Nephi 2:11). Agency is God's gift, and the adversary has spent every age trying to take it away.

It traces pride, deception, flattery, the lure of the world and the slow silencing of prayer and conscience. It shows where his power ends and how priesthood, prayer, the temple and the home make a refuge. Chapters include "Blaming God," "Counterfeit Altars," "The Unseen Hosts" and "Be of Good Cheer."

From the back cover

“For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things.”2 Nephi 2:11

Scripture, ancient writings, and the words of latter-day prophets on the adversary's methods, his limits, and the power of Jesus Christ to overcome him.
