The Solomon Seduction

What You Can Learn from the Wisest Fool in the Bible

De: Mark Atteberry

Narrado por: E. Timothy Bass

Have you found yourself in circumstances you never envisioned, tangled up with people you never approved of, and doing things you never imagined?

It seems impossible that the valedictorian of the entire human race would ruin his life by making dumb choices, but Solomon did. Solomon was better equipped to see through Satan’s deceptions than any man who has ever lived, other than Jesus. But in the end, he became just as blind to them as everyone else.

Pay attention to the news and you’ll see that it’s not just the numbskulls that fall into Satan’s traps. It’s also the best and brightest of America’s fathers, husbands, and sons. Many smart guys who love God end up being ashamed and humiliated by Satan’s seductions. With humor, grace, and a pastor’s heart, Mark Atteberry seeks to offer practical suggestions on how to avoid a similar fate. His prayer for readers is to experience a wake-up call to move forward and determined on an upward path.

Lessons for the brighter minds

I can relate to most of the wake up calls that were discussed in this book. One must always keep these lessons in mind if they are aspiring to succeed in life and fulfill their purpose. Mark's study of Solomon could not have been better described as these are teachings to live an honorable life.

Fool me twice, shame on..

If you could sum up The Solomon Seduction in three words, what would they be?

Three words would be extremely limited and not do it justice.This book offers a different view of the ubiquitous story of Solomon.This book presents what mile markers to be aware of when heading down the wrong path and what to do to avoid it. Practical biblical information that can transcend any male generation and for years to come.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Solomon Seduction?

For me, it was the stark contrast of Solomon's heart when he became king and the closing years of his life. How "our love" for God can stay the same yet our obedience diminishes. Though Solomon's ending wasn't glorious, his life was an ironic lesson for those that choose to learn from the wisest fool that ever lived.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I could've, yes.

Any additional comments?

Great, humorous, informative, biblically based, applicable knowledge in this book.

A tremendous book!! Essential read for men

I loved this book. It gave me a jolt as it stands as a clear warning!!! If even the wisest of us fell into the seduction of sin then we certainly need to be on guard and take all the precautions necessary. it's an extremely good read, especially for men seeking to do prominant work.
