Publisher's Description
Myth-Busting the Father of LiesDespite growing secularization, our culture still pays a lot of attention to the devil. He shows up everywhere from movies to music and is blamed for all sorts of crimes, natural disasters, and the policies of politicians we don't like. Yet in the Bible, Satan is barely present, barely speaks, and is subject to God's authority. So how has he gotten so much airtime in the lives of Christians and the wider culture? Award-winning biographer Jared Brock sorts through the myths and misinformation about the devil, revealing a biblical adversary we need to know, including· his real name, home, and life story--past, present, and apocalyptic future· his actual powers--and lack of power· how to spot, avoid, and overcome his tests, tricks, and tacticsWhen we have a biblical understanding of our adversary, we'll see new and deeper ways to follow Jesus, grasp our role in His epic story, and find hope in Christ's absolute authority over all things.

“Sometimes controversial, always thought-provoking, and full of carefully researched insight.”
“A wild ride! This book had me laughing, gawking, and crying on the same page. Timely, witty, essential truth for what ails us. If you shake your head in disbelief at a world gone mad, this book will make a whole lot of sense and equip you to do something about it.”
““Jared Brock has done it again. A robust yet approachable book on the devil. This is no easy feat. Jared gives lyrical light to a topic entirely bent on deceptive darkness. We must know the enemy we are at war with. Equip yourself by reading this application-rich book.”
“Jared Brock has no sympathy for the devil, but my goodness—he’s written both a riveting biography and a sweeping exposé of Old Scratch, and on top of that compiled a comprehensive manual of defense tactics to withstand Satan’s wiles. It’s a daunting task to tackle such a grim subject, but Jared does it with characteristic wit, wisdom, flair, and—above all—love for the church. This is, in fact, mostly that: an extended epistle to the people of God on how not to be unaware of the devil’s schemes. In A Devil Named Lucifer, Jared Brock gives us the evil one’s entire playbook. We’re well armed.”
“With passion, conviction, wit, and creativity, Jared unpacks a widely familiar but misunderstood adversary. I was wide-eyed from the start as the identification of his tactics in daily life was applied time and time again. This book will serve you and the church well, now and in years to come.”
“This may be the best and most balanced book I’ve ever read on the subject of Satan. Only Jared Brock would write a book about the devil and make it fun and incredibly informative.”
