Michael and the Dragon

Though the language of this book is old, the matters it addresses are contemporary. Dyke argues that it is impossible to be a Christian and not to encounter Satan and wage daily warfare with temptation. When God becomes real in the soul, Satan becomes real as well. Satan will not easily release his prey. Dyke puts it this way: "What we get and gain from Satan by Repentance, he seeks to regain and to recover his Temptations. We must not think to pass quietly out of Egypt without Pharoah's pursuit, nor to travel through the wilderness of this world without the opposition of the Amalekites."
