Dr. Stephen S. Lomax
DID THE DEVIL MAKE ME DO IT?
The Purpose and Premise of this book.
The Purpose: The book was not written simply to offer proof of the existence of the Devil, or to just characterize his behavior. It was written to offer a deep and detailed study on his existence, yes, but also on his origin, objectives and role in the affairs of human beings. Further, it was written to lay out the evidence of his involvement and offer biblical strategies to defeat his efforts to destroy the human family.
The Premise: if mankind is enlightened enough to acknowledge the Devil’s existence, recognize his actions of evil toward them as individuals and mankind in general, defeat him in their daily walk of experience by relying on God’s Word and the Holy Spirit, as did Jesus, they can and will live abundant, peaceful and fulfilling lives.
The Book explores question such as:
Is the Devil real or a myth?
Who is the Devil?
What are his intentions toward Man?
How can humans protect themselves
from his attacks?
Does human nature play a part in mankind’s
involvement with evil?
What does human nature and evil have
in common?
Why hasn’t the Devil been destroyed?
Why do the righteous suffer?
How to be blessed in the midst of the Devil?
How to overcome both the Devil and self?
