The Bait of Satan, 20th Anniversary Edition: Living Free from the Deadly Trap of Offense

This book is life-changing. Everyone should read it, whether or not you think you have an issue dealing with offence

My approach and appreciation of offence has definitely taken a turn for the better after reading this book. So insightful. Highly recommend if you want to break from letting offences hold you back from the freedom Christ has for you.

It is such a great book, especially for someone like me who is returning back to my faith. I have become a fan of John Bevere's writing and sermons. Highly recommend!

Another great book from John Bevere - very sound teaching and a real eye opener. This book is for people who really want to get rid of their hang ups, jealousy, offence and become a balanced and baggage-free, on-fire for Christ Christian. Each time I read one of his books, God uses it to explain the very event that occur and why people behave badly! I believe the Lord Jesus Christ uses this man and his ministry through his books to set Christians free to be able to live a life that is powerful, effective, with boldness and authority in Jesus' name. We can have peace, sound mind, love, joy, patience, self-control and all the rest by understanding ourselves and others, choose to think, believe, and behave with godliness and obey the Holy Bible- John Bevere helps us to reach this goal. So simple!

I have almost if not all of John Bevere’s books and God has really used his books to sharpen the knowledge I received and continue to receive from God Himself through His word - the Bible. The bait of satan is a very good book don’t get me wrong but I do disagree with what he wrote on page 47 about Eli under the sub heading “HOW CAN GOD USE CORRUPT LEADERS”! In my little understanding of the Bible (by Gods mercy) I don’t see Eli as a wicked Priest; rather I see him as a WEAK PARENT who couldn’t correct the wickedness of his children. And he sadly got punished for his weakness- which is a great lesson for us all!

THIS E-BOOK, WHILST NOT A COMFORTABLE READ, MAKES YOU REALLY THING ABOUT SEEMINGLY BANAL ISSUES IN YOUR LIFE WHICH COULD ACTUALLY BE HINDERING YOU FROM FULFILLING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL AND ADVANCING SPIRITUALLY.

A friend loaned me her copy after numerous conversations sprinkled with "you need to read this book called Bate...." Having had a chance to read some of it - it is as recommended! A very helpful tool!

Amazing book, I didn’t realise how much of an offended person that I was before reading this book. I am grateful for this book I haven’t finished it yet but I will be taking it on holiday to read the rest! Thank you

Ce livre est une merveille de l’Esprit de Dieu. La question de l’offense y est magnifiquement abordé au travers des Écritures. Avec des situations réelles et parfois très difficiles que l’on peut expérimenter pendant notre vie. C’est un superbe livre pour la guérison des cœurs et pour la restauration de l’âme. Beaucoup d’outils sont donnés aussi pour vivre une vie alerte par rapport aux stratégies de l’ennemi et une vie libérée de l’offense. Ce livre est un livre qui se lit et se relit lorsque l’offense frappe à nouveau à la porte. Beaucoup de conseils pratiques pour une mise en application efficace. Je recommande intensément !!!

The best book to deliver yourself from the bondage of offense

John Bevere's "The Bait of Satan" is a compelling and transformative read that delves deep into the often-hidden snares that hinder our spiritual growth and rob us of genuine peace. With unwavering clarity, Bevere exposes the enemy's cunning tactics, particularly highlighting the destructive power of offense. This book is not merely a warning; it's a practical guide to recognizing and overcoming the traps that keep us from experiencing the fullness of God's blessings. Bevere masterfully uses biblical examples and contemporary illustrations to illuminate the subtle ways offense can manifest, from bitterness and resentment to unforgiveness and pride. He doesn't just identify the problem; he offers concrete solutions rooted in scriptural truth. One of the book's greatest strengths is its emphasis on personal responsibility. Bevere challenges readers to actively participate in their own freedom by choosing forgiveness, releasing bitterness, and walking in humility. He reminds us that while Satan may set the bait, we ultimately have the power to choose whether or not we take it. "The Bait of Satan" is more than just a book; it's a spiritual wake-up call. It's a must-read for anyone seeking deeper intimacy with God and greater freedom in their lives. Whether you're struggling with past hurts or simply desire to walk in greater victory, this book offers profound insights and practical tools to help you break free from the enemy's snares and live a life filled with joy, peace, and purpose.

Shows you how getting offended is a trap and gives many examples of how we are doing it without even realising...(he recounts the people he met and what they shared..their different experiences)

A compelling and thought provoking book.
