Book Review: Satan Exposed by Larry Richards
Book Review: Satan Exposed by Larry Richards
Satan Exposed is all about spiritual warfare but it is much more about thoughts, beliefs and attitudes than it is about confronting and casting out demonic entities. In fact, it is not about the latter at all. But that’s o.k. because according to a prominent deliverance minister that I heard recently, 80% of deliverance is about renewing our minds from believing lies to believing truths. So that is what this book is all about, and it is much needed in the body of Christ.
The author begins with an introduction to the invisible war and how humankind got to where we are today. Unless you are totally new to this type of information this will probably be review for you.
Section two is where the good stuff begins. For each chapter of which he begins with “The Gift of…” (as examples: The Gift of Family, The Gift of Peace), the author goes over the tactics of the enemy which are not in mere list form but includes clear real life examples of how each tactic is frequently played out.
A few of these tactics are (list is not meant to be exhaustive):
- to encourage relativism
- to isolate age groups
- to distort our concept of God
- to convince believers that they are unlovable
- to increase the accusation
- to convince us that God is both capricious and easily angered
- to attack our sense of self-worth
- to use wealth to corrupt a person’s character
- to erode the concept of truth
- to cause doubt
Personal stories and scriptural citations also abound and directly tie into each point the author is trying to make.
One of the best things I liked about this book was that it did not stop with talking about the bad, but in every chapter in section two it included a list of ideas to be pro-active on the positive side.
If you are a Christian interested in spiritual warfare and particularly in renewing your mind, this book is worth it for you. If you are looking for a book that talks about how to cast out demons this is not the book for you.
