A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Satan's attacks and snares are the normal experience of both believers and non-believers. They started in the Garden of Eden with Eve's temptation and continue to this very day only to be diversified and adapted to the society's idols, needs, desires, and experiences. But how what lies behind these snares and devices? What are his goals and, in fact, what can he accomplish when we think of the sovereign God? Well, Puritan Thomas Brooks identifies a large number of snares and devices that are calculated by Satan to (1) keep the non-believers as far from the Gospel as possible and to (2) keep the Christian from enjoying the peace and felicity that comes from believing that same Gospel and from living a Gospel-centered life. The author goes on by identifying Christ-centered and Scripture-filled remedies to each and every of these snares. Every true Christian will find comfort and encouragement in this insightful and profound book. This book has been originally published in 1866. Current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and slightly updated for modern readers. About the author: Thomas Brooks (1608–1680) was an English non-conformist Puritan preacher and author. He wrote extensively and with a keen eye on devotional Christian life. Brooks died after over 40 years of Gospel ministry, in 1680.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Thomas Brooks (1608—1680) was an English non-conformist Puritan preacher and author. Much of what is known about Thomas Brooks has been ascertained from his writings. Born, likely to well-to-do parents, in 1608, Brooks entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1625, where he was preceded by such men as Thomas Hooker, John Cotton, and Thomas Shepard. He was licensed as a preacher of the Gospel by 1640. Before that date, he appears to have spent a number of years at sea, probably as a chaplain with the fleet. After the conclusion of the First English Civil War, Thomas Brooks became minister at Thomas Apostle's, London, and was sufficiently renowned to be chosen as preacher before the House of Commons on December 26, 1648. His sermon was afterwards published under the title, 'God's Delight in the Progress of the Upright', the text being Psalm 44:18: 'Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy way'. Three or four years afterwards, he transferred to St. Margaret's, Fish-street Hill, London. In 1662, he fell victim to the notorious Act of Uniformity, but he appears to have remained in his parish and to have preached as opportunity arose. Treatises continued to flow from his pen.
