There is a powerful message here that every believer should heed. The type of disobedience that John Bevere writes on is not the readily apparent kind - but the hidden attitudes of the heart that we don't see clearly. It is a strong word, but one that encourages the believer to look to God for the strength to obey, not to ourselves to clean up our act. Obedience is not a popular topic, but Mr. Bevere makes it a very relevent one for the Christian who is serious about going on with God. This is a very encouraging book, not a condemning one. It makes the fear of God and loving God through obedience come alive.

You would think by listening to many evangelical preachers that holiness is out of date and out of touch. Surely God doesn't expect us to really obey Him in everything? Surely God doesn't want us to be holy as He is holy? Surely He doesn't expect perfection from His children?

John Bevere will challenge you to be holy. He will challenge you to not allow sin to open your life to the devil. Jesus said that He came to set us free (John 8:31-32) and that if we continue in sin then we prove we are children of Satan (John 8:33-36). God's grace, Titus 2:11-12 reminds us, teaches us to say no to sin! Bevere's book exposes how sinfulness, disobedience, and simply a lack of faith will give way to the enemy (1 Corinthians 9:24-10:21; 2 Corinthians 1:24; Philippians 2:12-16; Colossians 1:21-23; 3:1-4; 2 Peter 2:1-22; Jude 3-4; 20-21; 1 John 2:3-6; 3:6-9).

I have read and studied a great deal of John Bevere's materials, and I have found all of them to be of excellent quality and sound theology. There is a solid scriptural basis for everything I have ever seen him write or preach.

This particular book shows us how disobedience to God opens the door to evil in our lives, and how it makes us vulnerable to attack by Satan and his minions.

It will cause you to examine your life carefully in the light of God's word.

Bevere's materials have a way of making you deeply search your heart and mind to find hidden sins and rebellion. While the process is not always pretty, it is very beneficial in deepening your walk with Almighty God.

I reccomend this book and this author without hesitation. If you apply the principles contained in this book, it can change your life.

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 Fear of the Lord, and The Bait of Satan a must read for all believers. Of the three, the Fear of the Lord and The Devils Door are companion vollumes.

John Bevere's The Devil's door is challenging, and life changing, without being condemning. The book reveals how disobedience to God gives Satan access, influence and control over our lives. Obedience to God does the opposite, closing the door to Satan's influence, while enabling God to move us closer to him. One of the key concepts of this book is that Grace is far more than the undeserved forgiveness granted to the sinner. It goes beyond this to give us the power to not to be a sinner any more. I found The Devil's Door to be life changing. An Outstanding Book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

This is a must read for woman that are in a relationship with an intimidating person. It opened my eyes for how suttle the devil comes in and controlls through intimidation and domination, that can destroy you emotionally.

The book sent was in great condition. One couldn't tell that it was used. It was sent to me in the time specified!
