‘The power of religion and godliness lives, thrives, or dies, as closet prayer lives, thrives, or dies.’ This was the deeply held conviction of Thomas Brooks. As a pastor who knew his people well, he feared that many Christians did not understand the ‘necessity, excellency, and usefulness’ of private prayer, and that many lived in ‘too great a neglect of this indispensable duty.’ Focusing on our Lord’s words about ‘closet prayer’ in Matthew 6:6, Brooks supplies us with a masterful treatment of a vitally important aspect of the Christian’s life. His aim is intensely ‘to preserve and keep up the power of religion and godliness both in men’s houses, hearts, and lives.’

Exploring the tactics of the devil, this classic work from 1652 delves into the myriad ways Satan attempts to undermine Christians and the divine strategies available for resistance. Thomas Brooks presents a straightforward and earnest examination of spiritual warfare, emphasizing that despite the ferocity of evil, God empowers believers to triumph over temptation. With its Puritan roots, the book serves as both a warning and a source of hope, affirming the possibility of victory through faith and divine strength.

Kristus, Písmo, vaše vlastní srdce a satanovy nástrahy jsou čtyři hlavní věci, které byste měli studovat a zkoumat v první řadě a nejvíce. Jestli někdo zavrhne jejich studium, nebude v bezpečí v tomto životě ani šťastný v životě budoucím. Je mou úlohou coby křesťana a ještě více coby strážce, abych udělal to nejlepší, co mohu,a odkrýval Kristovu plnost, prázdnotu stvoření a nástrahy toho velkého lháře. A právě o to jsem se snažil v tomto pojednání podle míry milosti získané od Pána.
