A good book for resisting spiritual evils. I think it does not quite stand on its own, however. It needs some better books to offset a few ideas that I rejected on nearly instinctive levels. Maybe they wouldn't bother other people. All I can say is that I knew I was stepping down just one step from the usual extraordinary high quality of books I read on self improvement. I generally read either prophets or general authorities, or the most qualified therapists who have direct experience with the topics they are exploring. I feel I can trust and accept as I read along.
While this book has a great deal to offer, I ended up being a little on my guard while reading it. I still am going to recommend it from time to time, because it has so many practical ideas in it.
After a few weeks of thinking about it, I have an excellent example from the book itself that illustrates the lack of care in their use of language in a book discussing sensitive and profound issues:
(This is a book about overcoming addictions, among other things)
"This work I was doing helped my testimony grow more than any single work I had done before. I became ADDICTED to feeling the Spirit and doing the work of the Lord." -pg. 242 of the book.
This unfortunate use of language is the finest example of several throughout the book. Authors did not strive for the cleanest language and the results do undermine their very efforts. Thank heavens there are many excellent and fantastic examples of uplifting and spiritual statements in the book as well. But this is why I say there are good books, there are better books, and then there are the best books. I'm not tooting my own self righteous tarnished horn, here. I'm advocating for awareness as we strive to live better lives.
Hopping off my soapbox, now.

I really liked this book. I learned so much about Satan’s tactics and was able to personalize it, to understand how he works on me. It was written in a way that is easy to understand and put into practice. I know I will be reading this again soon; I need a deeper understanding to fight Satan and I need it to be ingrained in my heart.

This was a good book, full of great scriptures and quotes from long ago. It also had a great chapter which was added in 2017 and had some very modern-day counsel from apostles and prophets. This was a slow-going book for me because it was quite heavy material. I wish that it had included more real life stories and examples to illustrate the truths that were discussed. There were just a couple, and they were my favorite, easiest-to-relate-to parts of the entire book.

"I have all of brother Cramer's books. Without his strong testimony. I would not be the man that I am today. I'm so grateful for his loving strength and what he has been willing to share with others." --Customer Review

This completely changed the way I pray, the way I read my scriptures, the way I perceive myself, and the way I process my thoughts. Thus is powerful.

Really good book. I borrowed it from a friend and did not keep it for too long, so I did not read every page thoroughly, but I went through the entire book quickly to get the main ideas. Really good.

Ah absolutely beautiful book that changed how I have viewed my struggles with temptation and addiction. It’s given me so much strength against Satan and his legions of demons and faith to focus on Christ and His Atonement
