Description

A book from the “Light in the Galaxy” series, which delves into hidden corners to uncover important, often overlooked matters.

This book likens human life to a chess epic: one side is a human being, perhaps unaware of the game’s rules, and the other is Satan, who knows perfectly well how many moves he needs to reach the king. This epic began in earnest when Satan swore his ancient oath: “By Your might, I will surely mislead them all, except…” The book presents some of the moves Satan makes and his traps, which can begin with mere negligence and end with the disease of infatuation with the West—its way of life, culture, and environment. In between, it explores many of the tactics Satan has mastered throughout history: from exploiting lust to false hope, to passive reliance on others, to exaggerated fear that turns people away from their Lord. It is the epic of all our lives. Our adversary is very skilled at it.
