{"product_id":"9781575677309","title":"The Serpent of Paradise: The Incredible Story of How Satan's Rebellion Serves God's Purposes","description":"How we perceive our enemy will largely determine how we fight against him.  Unless we grasp how the devil fits into God's scheme of things, we will find it  difficult to stand against his conspiracy against us personally and his influence  within our culture. We can have a proper theology of the devil only if we have a  proper theology of God. Only when we stand in awe of God will we find it unnecessary  to be in awe of Satan. As Martin Luther once said, 'The devil is God's devil.' God  is still in control. The Serpent of Paradise gives an overview of the career of  Satan and his interaction with the Almighty. It traces his fall from an exalted  position to his demise in everlasting shame and contempt. It shows us that Satan  always loses even when 'he wins.' Best of all, it confirms that we who have been  translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light are able to stand  against him. Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor  of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. ~ Ephesians  6:10-11 NIV. The Serpent of Paradise is a book about Satan, but it is also a book  about God's power, God's program, and God's purposes in this world.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128691212528,"sku":"9781575677309","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781575677309_p0.jpg?v=1763796856","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575677309","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
