Recognizing and Overcoming Temptation

We are out of Paradise now, but the tree of temptation still stands in our life where it stood then - in the middle, where all the roads meet, where we must pass it every day. Every person's success or sorrow depends on the attitude to it that he adopts.

There are six attitudes we can have in regard to temptation:


• We may be tempted.

• We may have fallen before temptation.

• We may be tempting others.

• We may be successfully resisting temptation.

• We may have outlived, or overcome, certain temptations.

• We may be assisting others to overcome their temptations.

In this short book, James Stalker explores each of these six attitudes we can have towards temptation, and how to best overcome the temptations we face.
