Tempted and Tried is Russell Moore's new book, which I highly recommend. He's honed in on the warfare that afflicts the soul and is determined to give no quarter to the enemy, showing readers through the temptations of Christ how to engage the enemy, by God's grace, and keep oneself unstained from the corruption of the world, the flesh, and the devil. We need more of such counsel and practical follow up.
Moore is a Southern Baptist; I am Eastern Orthodox. We wear different uniforms, but we belong to the Allies: we have the same enemy, and the same Commander-in-Chief.
If you need another recommendation, try this:
Dr. Russell Moore’s new book, one of the most practical I have seen in a long time, is an excellent manual of how to recognize and deal with temptation. Its prose is engaging, its biblical support solid, its illustrations lively and consistently to the point.
