Book Description
A few moments of illicit pleasure, a few dollars of illegal gain - what can it hurt? The aftermath of our pleasures and gains can wreak spiritual havoc when those indictments are bought at the cost of wrongdoing. In Winning the War Within, Dr. Stanley examines temptation from a biblical perspective and tracks its course from desire to sin to death. He clarifies the distinction between a test or a trial (which may come from God), and a temptation (which never comes from God) and explains God's solutions for coping with the trials and for triumphing over temptations.

Another reviewer said this book is valuable to anyone having problem with sin. One of the points this book makes evident is, that includes every human being. The book is not just about the traditional temptations of sex, alcohol, etc, but also losing your temper, being self sufficient, etc...I really believe this book can speak to anyone if read thoughtfully. It is an essential primer to any Christian wanting to know what sin and temptation are, how they originated, what forms they take, why it is important to battle, and how to accept the victory of Jesus Christ.
Another Great One by Dr. Stanley! Jun 24, 2004
Once again, Dr. Stanley has written another excellent text, this one focusing on temptation.
Among the important points covered in the book include:
1. Reasons to take sin seriously. 2. God wants to develop our character. 3. Ways people shift blame for giving in to temptation. 4. God does not want us to live an anxiety-ridden life. 5. God will provide an escape route from temptation. 6. When faced with a situation, consider your past experiences, present state of mind, and future plans/goals/dreams. 7. The devil is often subtle. 8. Accountability is important in overcoming temptation.
Read and be encouraged to be strong in the Lord!

Charles Stanley accomplishes what he set out to do in this book. This is a very good tool if you are having problems with sin in your life. If you are human, chances are that you ARE having problems with sin. He gives you the tools and resources needed in overcoming sin. All you have to do is apply these biblical principles. Nothing exceptionally grand about the way he wrote the book. He gives some good illustrations, though. Mostly get-to-the-point information.
Nothing is more neccessary, nothing more urgent! Jul 28, 1999
Our constant war within. To conquer sin is our relentless pursuit, this book makes that process more attainable. I recommend you to first read HOW TO LISTEN TO GOD, then continue with this one. Learn to hear GOD, then enter the war within, and live a truly victorious life!
If you care about your eternal life, BUY THIS BOOK! Feb 20, 1999
Charles Stanley clearly defines the steps necessary to keep winning the battles against evil.
