Book Review: Satan Exposed by Larry Richards

The latest book from Larry Richards, “Satan Exposed: Defeating the Powers of Darkness” was a bit of a let down. The book is split into two parts. The first part consists of three chapters about good vs. evil and the second part, titled “Warfare in the Here and Now” is made up of 13 chapters each focusing on a gift. The chapters in part two are structured around a gift that God has given his children, a section on Satan’s strategy exposed, detailing how Satan has twisted God’s gift, a section on how to overcome evil with good, followed by a list of suggestions regarding that gift.

I found the structure repetitive and I didn’t think the suggestions at the end of each chapter were very helpful. The author often used obscure Greek terms in his writing and the application from them seemed that it would be more appropriate in the context of a Bible commentary.

Having read a couple of the other books from this author, most notably the “Teen Study Bible” (which was one of my first Bibles), and “Spiritual Warfare Jesus’ Way”, I came to this book with really high expectations. I enjoy the writings of Larry Richards, but in my suggestion, I’d say choose “Spiritual Warfare Jesus’ Way” over “Satan Exposed”.

Help!

We are at war in this house. At war with something that is making my allergies absolutely terrible and, I suspect, preventing Judah from getting over the cough he’s had for 3 months (I know that sounds like a new mom exaggeration but it’s actually not :-(). So I need your help dear readers! Here’s the stuff we’ve tried so far:
– changed the air filter (yeah… We’re bad about that)
– washed my curtains
– dusted the blinds (the ones in our bedroom at least since that’s where my symptoms are the worst)
– vacuumed everywhere (moving furniture and such)
– throw away the old plastic shower curtain (our water is super hard and the curtain gets moldy within days… Any help on this would be great too!)

What am I leaving out? What else can we try? I know it’s our house because we were out all day yesterday and I never had any symptoms and Judah didn’t have a runny nose until we got back. I need your expertise!
