Book Description
Although temptation is a common and well-acknowledged part of the human experience, few realize the truth behind temptation and fewer still know how to defeat it. Tempted and Tried will not reassure Christians by claiming that temptation is less powerful or less prevalent than it is; instead, it will prepare believers for battle by telling the truth about the cosmic war that is raging. Moore shows that the temptation of every Christian is part of a broader conspiracy against God, a conspiracy that confronts everyone who shares the flesh of Jesus through human birth and especially confronts those who share the Spirit of Christ through the new birth of redemption. Moore walks readers through the Devil's ancient strategies for temptation revealed in Jesus' wilderness testing. Moore considers how those strategies might appear in a contemporary context and points readers to a way of escape. Tempted and Tried will remind Christians that temptation must be understood in terms of warfare, encouraging them with the truth that victory has already been secured through the triumph of Christ.

Book Description
THE YEAST OF YERUSHALAIM. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is like yeast. As yeast is worked into the dough and changes its structure positively, so the gospel is dispersed into societies and changes them from the inside. To mix the yeast of the gospel into societies, Jesus sent His disciples out to make disciples of all nations: "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8). Jerusalem is pronounced Yerushalaim in Hebrew. In this city Jesus was crucified, raised from the dead, and ascended to heaven, and to this city He will return. In Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit came into the hearts of believers, inspiring them to spread the gospel worldwide. The Acts and letters of the apostles show how the yeast spread throughout the Roman empire in the first century. When the yeast of Yerushalaim has done its work, Christ will return to renew heaven, earth, and Jerusalem.

Book Description
An astute, outspoken lay theologian talks to Christians about how they can today find freedom in obedience to Christ's gospel and about the urgent necessity of trying to live this kind of freedom now. He insists that his readers look realistically and relentlessly at their own condition, at the condition of the church -- and that they see how these relate and compare to Christ's gospel. His book, based on certain passages from Hebrews, thus becomes a call to freedom and a call to revolutionary Christianity. William Stringfellow begins by spelling out, in impressive and telling detail, how the church has become mired in secular idolatries and ideologies, both economic and political. Then, in constrast to this situation, he examines Christ's resistance to the temptations of worldly power. Stringfellow ends his book by emphasizing the meaning of the resurrection as the exercise of the freedom of God and sets forth the victory over death and bondage given in Christ. Only in that gift is the Christian free to offer his own life to the world. Only thus is he free in obedience.

Book Description
In "Triumph Over Temptation," author Bill Vincent embarks on a profound exploration of the pervasive struggle against lust, one of humanity's most formidable spiritual battles. Drawing from his extensive experience in pastoral care and deliverance ministry, Vincent delves deep into the heart of this insidious force, revealing its many facets beyond mere sexual desire, encompassing the lust for power, control, and material excess. Through twelve compelling chapters, Vincent offers a piercing analysis of the various manifestations of lust, its historical roots in biblical narratives, and its contemporary relevance in a world increasingly blurred between the sacred and the secular. He unravels the deceptive allure of lust, its potential to lead even the most devout astray, and the subtle ways it infiltrates our thoughts and actions. The book illuminates the often-misunderstood dynamics of spiritual warfare, the role of leadership in safeguarding the flock, and the importance of discernment in distinguishing the voice of God from the cunning whispers of the adversary. Vincent calls for a return to biblical truths, urging believers to stand firm in their faith, fortified by the Word and led by the Holy Spirit. "Triumph Over Temptation" is not merely a discourse on the pitfalls of lust; it's a roadmap to liberation, a call to arms against the forces that seek to ensnare us. It's an invitation to embark on a transformative journey, fortified by divine wisdom, to claim victory over the desires that threaten to derail our spiritual walk. Whether you are a long-standing believer or new to the faith, this book is a beacon of light, offering guidance, hope, and the promise of triumph over the trials that test our resolve. Embrace the journey within these pages, and step into the freedom and victory that await.
