Did the devil make me do it? Where did
the devil come from? What is he like and what does he do? What about
demons? What did Jesus do? What should we do?
These are some of the questions asked
in the book Did The Devil make Me Do It by Mike McKinley, the
pastor of Guilford Baptist Church in Sterling, Virginia.
WHAT'S THIS DEVIL STUFF ALL ABOUT?
Who exactly is the devil and what
exactly is he up to in the world in which we live? Did The Devil
Make Me Do It addresses many questions and concerns about the
existence of the devil and the demons.
Author Mike McKinley packs a large
amount of information about the devil into the 78 pages of the book.
A specific question heads each of the five chapters and within the
chapters are more questions pertaining to the topic.
MY THOUGHTS
I like the question-answer format of
the book. It helps in making this a very easy book to read. The
information presented is easy to understand. The author answers each
question from Scripture rather than giving just an opinion.
Did The Devil Make Me Do It is
packed with biblical information concerning the devil. The
information the author presents is basic and to the mature Christian
would be common knowledge. To a new babe in Christ this information
is absolutely vital, not to scare but to prepare and equip them for
their walk with Christ.
CONCLUSION
The title Did The Devil Make Me Do
It is catchy. Mike McKinley concludes the book with an answer to
that very question. I won't spoil it with the answer here.
We should be fully equipped as
witnesses for Jesus Christ. This includes being able to answer
questions about the devil and the realm of evil influence. This
booklet could be useful as a tool for sharing the gospel.
