The Bait of Satan, 20th Anniversary Edition: Living Free from the Deadly Trap of Offense

My approach and appreciation of offence has definitely taken a turn for the better after reading this book. So insightful. Highly recommend if you want to break from letting offences hold you back from the freedom Christ has for you.

This book is life-changing. Everyone should read it, whether or not you think you have an issue dealing with offence

It is such a great book, especially for someone like me who is returning back to my faith. I have become a fan of John Bevere's writing and sermons. Highly recommend!

Another great book from John Bevere - very sound teaching and a real eye opener. This book is for people who really want to get rid of their hang ups, jealousy, offence and become a balanced and baggage-free, on-fire for Christ Christian. Each time I read one of his books, God uses it to explain the very event that occur and why people behave badly! I believe the Lord Jesus Christ uses this man and his ministry through his books to set Christians free to be able to live a life that is powerful, effective, with boldness and authority in Jesus' name. We can have peace, sound mind, love, joy, patience, self-control and all the rest by understanding ourselves and others, choose to think, believe, and behave with godliness and obey the Holy Bible- John Bevere helps us to reach this goal. So simple!

I have almost if not all of John Bevere’s books and God has really used his books to sharpen the knowledge I received and continue to receive from God Himself through His word - the Bible. The bait of satan is a very good book don’t get me wrong but I do disagree with what he wrote on page 47 about Eli under the sub heading “HOW CAN GOD USE CORRUPT LEADERS”! In my little understanding of the Bible (by Gods mercy) I don’t see Eli as a wicked Priest; rather I see him as a WEAK PARENT who couldn’t correct the wickedness of his children. And he sadly got punished for his weakness- which is a great lesson for us all!

THIS E-BOOK, WHILST NOT A COMFORTABLE READ, MAKES YOU REALLY THING ABOUT SEEMINGLY BANAL ISSUES IN YOUR LIFE WHICH COULD ACTUALLY BE HINDERING YOU FROM FULFILLING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL AND ADVANCING SPIRITUALLY.

Amazing book, I didn’t realise how much of an offended person that I was before reading this book. I am grateful for this book I haven’t finished it yet but I will be taking it on holiday to read the rest! Thank you

A friend loaned me her copy after numerous conversations sprinkled with "you need to read this book called Bate...." Having had a chance to read some of it - it is as recommended! A very helpful tool!

Ce livre est une merveille de l’Esprit de Dieu. La question de l’offense y est magnifiquement abordé au travers des Écritures. Avec des situations réelles et parfois très difficiles que l’on peut expérimenter pendant notre vie. C’est un superbe livre pour la guérison des cœurs et pour la restauration de l’âme. Beaucoup d’outils sont donnés aussi pour vivre une vie alerte par rapport aux stratégies de l’ennemi et une vie libérée de l’offense. Ce livre est un livre qui se lit et se relit lorsque l’offense frappe à nouveau à la porte. Beaucoup de conseils pratiques pour une mise en application efficace. Je recommande intensément !!!

Bought this for new believer! This book is one of the best books I have read about forgiveness. It taught me to put God's word into practice and helped me forgive my father I didn't talk to for 17 years.

The best book to deliver yourself from the bondage of offense

I really enjoyed the structure of the book in keeping chapters short and manageable to use as a daily reading with declarations. I highly recommend the companion study guide for reflective questions that deepen our understanding of where we are in our walk with God and how we are living each day. The topic of offense is very relevant today. How many times are we offended by someone or we offend someone? It really makes you think and highlights the biblical importance of forgiveness and reconciliation. This can be a life changing book for many. Highly recommend.

Shows you how getting offended is a trap and gives many examples of how we are doing it without even realising...(he recounts the people he met and what they shared..their different experiences)
