About the book

Brooks structures this Puritan classic as a practical catalog: he identifies, one by one, the chief "devices" or strategies Satan uses to deceive believers, and offers for each a set of specific biblical "remedies."

Written in Brooks's characteristically vivid, illustrative style, the book remains one of the most frequently cited treatises on spiritual discernment and resistance to temptation in the whole Reformed tradition.
