Temptation OvercomersWouldn't life be wonderful if there were no temptations-no possibility of failure? This question is the author's opening salvo. From there you are swept into the Garden where you overhear Adam and Eve casually chatting about daily living, told as only Elmer L. Towns can tell. The personal experiences and Bible stories he brings to life in Temptation Overcomers are not only captivating but thought, heart, and spirit-provoking. For example, he writes, "Look at temptation from a non-moral or non-spiritual perspective. A sign on the street corner says, "No right turn." But you do it anyway...there's no oncoming traffic. You didn't get a ticket or a warning from the police. Did you sin, or did you just find a convenient way to get where you were going? Was turning right wrong? We are all tempted in non-moral ways every day when dealing with manmade rules-sometimes there are consequences, and other times no one cares. But what about God's moral laws?"Temptation Overcomers overflows with ways you can claim daily triumph with 4 chapters of wisdom, 14 principles for victory-living, 28 daily devotions, and 4 comprehensive lessons that cement not only your new-found strategies but provide ways to teach others as well.
