Desert Duel With Satan

About the Book

Would it not be interesting to see what the effect on the moral conditions of our nation would be if an additional five to ten percent of the people who shun all scriptural material would commence reading it?

There are so many great religious books written by theologians and Christian authors that are shuned by skeptics. Great numbers of people have not been acclimated to the scripture and have an aversion to it.

Obviously more of today's readers are interested in adventure, war, history and romance. Today's society has many war veterans. There are many service people. This population, as well as their relatives and friends, will readily read books based on wars, romance and adventure.

The main purpose of this book is to acclimate worldly readers to the scripture. In most cases this is a slow and delicate process. Many reject the mere mention of the Bible. DESERT DUEL WITH SATAN includes romance, adventure, and war history in a manner that will capture the interest of a worldly reader, yet he can hardly escapte the spriritual truth woven into this narrative. The first nine chapters contain a close facsimile of a biography of the author. The remainder of the book could be classed as fiction. However, the locations, battles and ship convoys are correct and researched.
