A Brief Primer on Spiritual Warfare

Mike McKinley's Did the Devil Make Me Do It? provides a quick introduction to Satan, demons, and spiritual warfare. He emphasises that while Satan is real and influential, our sin isn't caused by demonic forces but by our own disobedience. The book is a good primer for understanding spiritual warfare, but leaves some topics, like temptation, underexplored. It’s helpful but too brief for those seeking more depth. A balanced approach to Satan’s influence without excessive focus.
