If you have ever been tempted to sin, and everything within you cried out for God's help, listen up. We all have days when it seems that falling is much easier than standing. We promise ourselves, and God, that we will do our best to serve Him, if He will just get us through this temptation. And, well meaning believers all around the world hope for victory, but keep falling short. What can we do? What is the key to fulfilling God's plan for our lives?

Yield Not to Temptation: Experiencing Christ's Victory in 40 Days, promises to focus your mind on Jesus, such that victory will appear to be the only option. You will learn to rejoice in His righteousness, relish in His promises, and respond to His leading.

You, dear friend, can experience Christ's victory, beginning today. Don't give up on holiness. Rather, give all to your holy God, and He will lift you up.

The most helpful book I've read in 2014

Would you listen to Yield Not to Temptation again? Why?

I would listen to this book over and over again! I struggle with temptation on a daily basis (yea, go figure I'm human). I'm so used to being beat over the head with how bad I am and how much I need to shape up when righteousness is talked about. This BOOK THOUHGH!!!!! actually painted doing the right thing in such a good light that actually made me want to go through the simple steps. I feel so encouraged and burden free after listening to this book! I have courage to face life and face my issues

I loved when we were continually reminded of Christ's power to overcome. The reader kept stating that it's not our power, and that was relieving, because I didn't have to do the work, but I was able to experience the benefits AS A GIFT!!!

David's candid writing style is unique and it's like he's talking right to the reader, frequently in a humorous way though he's not necessarily trying to.

He doesn't waste time writing filler and fluff material but makes valid points and moves on. I like knowing I'm listening to substance vs theory.

This is a personal preference, but I would like to hear David or another male voice reading the book.
