Deception, an aspect of the Fall of Man, receives comparatively little attention, yet it has the potential to exercise one of the most far-reaching influences in our lives from social media posts to adverts on TV to financial investments, even to our relationships, down to what we believe about reality, the world, life, death, and God!In Deception!, Lee N. Emerson examines what the Bible has to say about the subject of deception, starting in Genesis and ending in Revelation. Most importantly, he demonstrates how God's wisdom, manifest in Christ, has confounded Satan on the cross, and how he has now, through the Holy Spirit, equipped Christians to navigate the dangerous shoals and reefs that the evil one has set in place to try and shipwreck the faith of believers.

Why doesn''t God do things the way we think He should? All of us have an uncanny desire to improve nearly everything we are a part of, from books, to streaming services, to products, to politics, and even to our faith. We want to be invited to give input. We want our voices to be heard, our opinions to be known. Focus Groups are a formalized way to gather and process input so that consumers'' ideas can be better served. This works great in the business arena, but when we take this approach in our relationship with Jesus Christ, we are set up for a lot of frustration. There are many ways we try to tell Him how He can improve our religious experience with Him. If He would only listen... but we find God Does Not Do Focus Groups. God is only interested in having us move toward Him on His terms. This book helps us see the ways we try to leverage God into doing a focus group with us and then explains why it is in our best interest that He NEVER will.
