Summary: A Must read for anyone whose ever been hurt or offended
Comment: John Bevere's books are some of the most challenging and lifechanging books I have read. I consider his books The Devil's Door, The Bait of Satan and The fear of the Lord a must read for all believers.
The Bait of Satan deals with the issues of offense and forgiveness. Christ taught us to pray "Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us." But do we do this? Do we forgive those who hurt us? John Bevere explores both the importance of doing this, and teaches how to deal past hurts and anger so that we can actually love as Christ loved us. An excellent and challenging book. If you read it with and open mind and a willing heart, God will use it to change your life; opening up new levels of healing and closeness to him.

Summary: This book can change your life!
Comment: This is a book that exposes an effective device of Satan -- a device that can put walls between you and God, and block your prayers. Yes, the Bible says this can and will happen. By reading this book, you will learn how to recognize this device, and how to defend against it. My home study (cell) group recently completed both the book and study guide. The subject matter -- and John Bevere's honest and direct treatment of our Lord's teachings on forgiving others AND OURSELVES, as well as avoiding offense -- mended lives in our group of about 15. Many were healed of emotional wounds, and released from anger and bitterness. Broken relationships were reconciled. We saw walls come down in two churches through renewed fellowship because of truths revealed in this book. Our pastor read the book and not only endorsed it but preached a sermon on its contents. This book is essential reading for every serious Christian. It will get you into the Bible and show you truths you may have overlooked. Most important, it can set you on a path toward improved relationships with your spouse, your family, and your friends -- and a closer relationship with the Lord! 5 stars and two thumbs up!

Summary: Saved today...but tomorrow?...
Comment: Having read several of John Bevere's books including this one, all I can say is that the same recurrent theme comes up in all of them: Obey those in authority, or else you go to hell.
This is an oversimplification and on the surface, trite. But the one thing that has annoyed me about this book and the two before it was his display of being the one who was right, speaking down to the lowly lay person who is to swear allegiance without question. Sorry, I have marched in lock-step to those in ministry "offices" for too long without scripturally examining what they say.
This is not rebellion. It is taking the responsibility of Biblically evaluating what you hear. ANY teacher who does not advocate that their teaching be examined by the scriptures should be discarded. It's just that simple.
For instance, in this book, Mr Bevere relates a story about a person who had a vision showing a relative in hell. They questioned God since this relative was saved.
According to Bevere's account, God said that because this person's relative did not forgive, they went to hell.
I am sorry but this teaching is AGAINST the teaching of scripture!
After you are Born Again, forgiveness allows you to walk in fellowship with God but your relationship is secure. If you died without "making it right," or forgiving someone against whom you had a grudge, it would not affect your salvation.
This is not a once-saved-always-saved reasoning but a reasoning based upon the Biblical teaching of spirit, soul, and body and the difference between relationship and fellowship. My, how the Church needs to be taught in this area!
This is but one example of that which has been taught by Mr. Bevere.
If you read all of Mr Bevere's books, you will find yourself losing your salvation at some point if you fail to obey what he recommends. I challenge you to read the two books which preceeded this one and you will find it in there somewhere! I'm sorry, but my salvation is more secure than what Mr. Bevere would have me believe.
That said, I do believe that the teaching on forgiveness is vital to the body of Christ, but it must be taught scripturally and without "teaching down" to "the laity."
