The Devil's Secrets

If Dr. Seuss adapted C. S. Lewis's "The Screwtape Letters," he might have created something similar to author D. Brooks Baker's ingenious work of fiction verse "The Devil's Secrets."

"But there are secrets that must remain, or they would ruin his sinister plan, for if God's children learned what the Devil knew, he'd lose his power over man." So begins the story. And it carries on revealing nineteen secrets that Satan is teaching his followers in a special training session on how to keep mankind in the dark.

Laid out in an easy-to-follow format, each chapter is preceded by a quote from the Bible or a historical figure and closes with one of Satan's secrets. In between is the Devil's explanation to his minions of why they cannot allow mankind to learn a particular truth.

From the importance of families to the ill effects of addiction to the twisting of religion, Baker covers all the essential topics and more-but from the vantage point of the great deceiver himself, the Devil.

By learning the enemy's secrets, you can discover how to overcome his devious tactics. Whether you choose to read this as a personal devotional or as a book study with students, you can easily read it a chapter at a time or all in one sitting.
