One's natural inclinations, in- tellectual prowess, and emotional responses can often be deceptive. This is especially true in the area of this book's subject. The pendulum of personal beliefs regarding the function of grace, faith, and works tends to swing to an extreme, either far right or far left, depending upon multiple variables. It is amazing how circumstances and life's stages affect this.The extremes lack "the-salt-of-the-earth" quality spoken of by Christ. The light set on a hill, that should welcome the wayfaring wanderer, is ablaze with danger or smoldering with apathy. Consider the extremes of grace, faith, and works. Grace to an extreme tolerates sin. Faith to an extreme promotes a religious humanism (Man is a god because he controls God by faith-he simply speaks the word of faith and God must obey.). Works to an extreme creates Pharisaic tendencies (self-righteousness and hypocrisy). The remedy for extremism is to find the biblical balance of grace, faith, and works in daily living. That is the motivation for this book, not to become the authoritative voice regarding how you must live, but to challenge extremes and offer direction in seeking a biblical balance.

The information contained in this book is a must-have resource for the Christian in order to overcome temptation. Whether this book is relevant at the moment is inconsequential; your situation can change without notice. The gales of adversity appear abruptly, and nothing you do can prevent them. This book surveys mankind's age-old and constant companion: temptation. Ironically, this companion is not a colleague of choice. Conversely, this companion is an intruder of ultimate magnitude, a prowler of devastating potential. The Scripture describes the tempter as a roaring lion and admonishes the believer on how to respond. An African proverb well describes the law of survival. "Every day in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be running." In this book, Christian pastor and award winning author Larry Arrowood offers biblical and practical instructions for the Christian to become an overcomer.
