The Solomon Seduction - book review

Mark Atteberry
    Mark Atteberry is the award-winning author of eleven books.  H e has been the preaching minister of Pointciana Chritia Church in Kissimmee, Florida since 1989.
    Seduction is the art of enticing a person to make negative behavioral choices heor she would otherwise avoid.  Pastor Atteberry provides us with 10 "wake-up calls that let us know when we are being seduced. 
Solomon, himself, was the wisest of all men, however he managed to be seduced.  One of these "wake-up" calls is:: You know you're being seduced wen sin seems like good idea.  That is one of Satan's best tricks.  He can make terrible sins look like a good idea.  Solomon, who wrote much of the book of proverbs,fell into this trap.  His own words were:  The purpose of the proverbs is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise. Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them o what is right, just, and fair.  This book helps us to acknowledge that sin is never a ood idea  It seems impossible that the wisest man in the whole human race would ruin his life by making dumb choices, but Solomon did.  Solomon was better equipped to see through Satan's deceptions than any man who has ever lived, other than Jesus.  But in the end, he became just as blind to them as everyone else.  With humor, grace, and a pastor's heart, Mark Atteberry seeks to offer practical suggestions on how to avoid a similar fate.

    I found this book very informative and also enjoyable  It was very easy to understand and a very fast read.  It also held may attention.
