Book: The Bait of Satan

John Bevere hits the nail on the head with this smash hit that has helped release so many people from the trap of offense. The concept is quite simple, yet profoundly powerful. Written with an obvious Christian background, this book and its message, I believe can also stand on its own.

The Greek word skándalon often translated as "offense", or "stumbling block" is the word used for the stick that bait was attached to when setting a trap. Offense is this bait. Harmless on its own, but can be devastating when we pick it up and become one who is offended. Offended people become trapped and act out of hurt, anger, jealousy, strife, bitterness, deception, pride, resentment, unforgiveness, etc. and damage relationships, create division, and perpetuate/recreate the same trap that they got stuck in. They, in short, are no longer working for God, they are no longer cleansing the world, but actively working against him.

This book, takes you on a journey through different story arcs to isolate and make tangible how offended people act, and what it looks like to be released from that. Thoroughly captivating, you'll find yourself reflecting on the current state of your relationships, and seeing the light.
