Do you have a sinful
habit you just can't overcome?
Do you confess the same sin over and over,
only to fall into Satan's grip once again?
Are you ready to learn
how to resist temptation?
A grand battle is raging —
right now — for the future
of your soul.
It's not a battle over
abstract ideas and principles . . .
. . . it's a tough, personal
struggle that pits you and God
against Satan.
Worse, the nearer
you grow to God and the
closer to victory, the greater are
the traps the Devil lays in your path.
With God's help, you can
resist temptation, and this beautiful
book will show you how.
Fr. Francis Remler offers
you sound and comforting advice
that only an experienced confessor can provide.
He'll identify temptations
you didn't even know existed . . .
. . . and he'll guard you against
common misunderstandings of what
temptation really is — misunderstandings
that may be paralyzing your spiritual growth.
In this marvelously encouraging
and optimistic book, you'll also learn:
- What you can do to guard against temptations when their causes are outside of your control
- The essential virtue that temptations foster in your soul — but only when you resist them
- How your patient endurance can become a source of deep and abiding joy for you
- One thing you can do daily that will make your temptations lose their force over your soul — it's surprisingly easy
- Why it's so important for you to avoid even thinking about your past sins
- Occasions of sin: how you should deal with them when you go to Confession
- An important way you can begin to make up for your sins of the past
- What you should do if you're afraid that you aren't resisting temptation firmly enough
- St. Catherine of Sienna, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Mary of Egypt, and other holy souls: how they resisted even the most virulent temptations
- Plus much more from an experienced priest who knew the human heart — and how to direct it away from temptations and toward God!
