"The late 1930s were a tumultuous time in America. Fear and anxiety were rampant. Enter Orson Welles, director of a new radio program, who had just bought the rights to H. G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds and updated the setting from Victorian England to current-day New Jersey... Most Americans weren't listening to Welles's show when it started. They were listening to a more popular program which ended at 8:15 pm. Around 8:16, thousands of people turned the dial and were shocked by a realistic-sounding news reports of aliens invading the Eastern Seaboard, complete with an emergency broadcast from an actor whose voice mimicked President Roosevelt's. The result was pandemonium. Urbanites fled in terror. People committed suicide. Looting broke out. It being America, men got out their guns and made ready to make a final stand... The story shows us how powerful ideas can be. This is something our enemy understands all too well. Satan, "the father of lies," wields the weapons of deception, striking when we are most vulnerable. John Mark Comer reveals how deceptive ideas are at work on our souls, and provides practical tools to help you recognize these enemies, resist the lies they try to make you believe, and experience the peace that God intends you to have." --publisher's website.
