John Wall (1588-1666) An almost poetically written book about the doctrines of prayer and communion with God. Without this communion with God, Satan will get the better of us, and we will fall into his traps. We learn of the many techniques Satan uses against us, and are warned how to recognize his workings. Knowledge is power. We must have knowledge of this very real enemy who has been a liar and a murderer from the beginning. Satan subtlety plots against us and God. It is his mission to disgrace all that is holy.Christ is uplifted throughout and we must turn to Him in prayer and meditation to defeat this enemy.

If we stay close to Christ we thwart the evil that is always close by and waiting to pounce at the first opportunity. It is only through Christ's power and strength that we will finally be victorious.
