Free Who Is The Devil? Ebooks Online
In these terrifying pages written over half-a-century ago, Nicholas Cortes gives you incontrovertible proof that Satan exists, that he and his legions of devils assault you daily, and that by means of relentless attacks --- overwhelming and subtle --- they intend to corrupt you, damn you, and drag you into Hell along with those you love and all the rest of mankind. A grand battle is raging right now for the future of your soul: not an abstract battle of ideas and principles, but a tough, personal struggle that pits God and you against Satan and his minions. Worse: the nearer you grow to God and the closer to victory, the greater are the traps the Devil lays in your path. With God's help --- and the help of the good angels, who are truly your friends and guardians --- you can repel the Devil; but to succeed, you must first come to understand Satan's devious ways and recognize his subtle paths of attack. Armed with that knowledge, which Nicholas Cortes gives you here, you'll soon be able to identify temptations early and equip yourself to repel them long before they grow strong enough to overthrow you. Soon, the Devil's trials will cease to be for you occasions of sin, becoming instead (as they did for scores of saints) providential opportunities for genuine spiritual victories. In the pages of Who is the Devil? Nicholas Cortes will also show you: Why, if you are Christian, you must believe in devils Your own personal devil? Did you know it s not just Satan trying to bring you down? A simple way to banish fear of the Devil . . . no matter how scarlet your sins The terrible distance the kingdom of Satan extends into this world (You ll be surprised!) Why even as we fall into sin, we remain like unto angels How some angels sinned, and why --- unlike our sins --- theirs are unforgivable Witches and sorcerers: the powers they don't really have (and the dangerous ones they do!) How, long before the Internet, the Devil assaulted St. Anthony with obscene images. The saint repelled them (and shows how we can, too) Satanism: what it really is and how --- unknowingly --- even ordinary folks like us fall into it Exorcisms and the priests who perform them: actual cases considered The eye-opening dangers of Black Magic and Black Masses The even greater perils involved in doubting Satan s existence Finally: how, despite the subtlety and raw power of Satan and his minions, you can be assured of salvation.

At first I wasn't sure I wanted this book in my home., but after reading it, I now understand that it is reallya guide book to help you realize how the evil one works in your life and how to defend your self. Very wellwritten, a fast read and a very good aspect or a more technical view of how Satan only has one planfor you, and that is for you to spend an eternity in hell with him. Remember that the one that lives in you,(The Holy Spirit) is stronger than the one that is in this world (Satan). Stick to a strong prayer life, walk the narrowpath and don't let this Fallen Angel of Pure Evil block your salvation.
Too many Catholics and other Christians are tempted these days to talk about "evil" rather than Satan. The reason is that they have been co-opted by a secular society that simply does not believe in the fundamental Christian doctrine concerning the devil and his cohort. This short book is a remedy for this unacknowledged sally into heresy. Citing the Bible and the saints, Corte shows us that we must choose between the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church for the last 2000 years concerning Hell and its denizens on the one hand, and the wan, vague, and cozy concept of "evil'' current in modern society on the other.
A well written and complete analysis of something our current thinking has relegated to the world of fairy tales. A very worthwhile read.
At first I had no desire to read this book thinking it would be just another sensationalized personal opinion. For days however I kept feeling an inclination to give it a quick overview. Am I glad I did. This book gives in my opinion the best most concise and lucid explanation of the evil that is called the devil. Not some "cosmic force" but a being totally perverted and whose desire is to totally pervert. I am rereading it in a more studied fashion now. I believe it gives powerful exposition of the battle we face against the principalities, powers and the rulers of this world of darkness , against spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places. Most HIGHLY recommended.
I did not anticipate the enriching depth of this book, or the impact it would make on my life. First, I discovered why believing in the devil must be a dogma. Then, starting with the experiences of St Anthony of the desert, I finally understood St Ignatius' Rule which says the bad spirit can urge you to pursue some act which SEEMS holy, but will harm you in the long run. I learned practical steps to recognize the lies the devil presents to us, and more. I encourage you to discover this book!
If you really are interested in this subject, I think you'll enjoy this book. Of course, it isn't the longest read, so more serious students will need others. I liked it, though.
Excellent and inspiring reading.
