One of the greatest spiritual
battles we face is temptation.
Where do temptations
come from?
How can we defeat them?
In this modest book,
Fr. P.J. Michel, S.J. answers
these questions and more.
A savvy professor of theology,
his wisdom and common sense were
forged not only in the classroom, but by
decades of ardent prayer and service to
penitent souls in the confessional.
Here Fr. Michel explains where
your temptations come from and helps
rid you of them (and of your fear of them).
He teaches you how to best respond
to the different kinds of temptations
that assail you, and he even shows you how
to profit spiritually from your temptations, no
matter how strong or frequent they may be!
Learn from these clear succinct pages:
- Why you, in particular, are still tempted (and why God allows it)
- Whether your temptations show that you’ve turned away from God
- 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
- How to arm yourself against temptations… before they occur
- When it’s better simply to ignore — rather than battle — certain temptations
- The one, simple thing you must do when strong, persistent temptations occupy your mind
- What makes it easier to fend off sensual temptations
- The one promise of God you must be sure to remember when temptations discourage you
- And why you must never yield to despair, especially after you’ve yielded to temptations (and what to do instead)
