Have you ever been the victim of a con artist? It seems as though every day we hear of increasingly clever schemes used to bilk people out of their money. It isn't always new cons, either; tried and true schemes are used time and again. Author Rick Shoemaker and his church fell victim to a scheme concocted by two con artists during the Christmas season. And while these criminals scammed churches across the country of more than $250,000, they are not the biggest con artists at work today. In Dissecting the Serpent: Exposing Twenty-One of the Devil's Most Destructive Devices, Shoemaker tells you how to recognize the work of the ultimate con artist-the Devil. You can learn what is necessary to ward off each of his most frequently used attacks. What's more, if you have already fallen victim to Satan's traps, Shoemaker teaches you how to break free and return to life in Christ. Dissecting the Serpent offers a biblical investigation into the arsenal the Devil has devised for your destruction. You can have the strength and tools needed to fight back and return to a life of hope.
