A key factor at play
in spiritual warfare
is temptation.
Where does it come from?
What does it mean?
How can we defeat it?
In this modest book,
Fr. P.J. Michel shares his wisdom
and common sense that have been
forged by decades of ardent prayer
and service to penitent souls
in the confessional.
Here Fr. Michel explains
just where your temptations
come from and helps rid you of
them —and your fear of them!
You'll learn how best to
respond to the different kinds
of temptations that assail you . . .
. . . and how to even profit
spiritually from them, no
matter how strong or
frequent they may be!
From these clear, succinct pages you'll also learn:
- Why you, in particular, are still tempted and why God allows it
- Whether the evil thoughts and impulses that afflict you regularly are merely temptations . . . or sins to which you have somehow consented
- Whether your temptations are a test, a punishment, neither, or both
- When it's better simply to ignore — rather than battle — certain temptations
- How to arm yourself against temptations before they occur
- The one, simple thing you can do when strong, persistent temptations occupy your mind
- What makes it easier to fend off sensual temptations
- Which temptations you must never reason with (as did poor Eve, to her sorrow — and ours!)
- And why you must never yield to despair, especially after you've yielded to temptations (and what to do instead)
