Although temptation is a common and well-acknowledged part of the human experience, few realize the truth behind temptation and fewer still know how to defeat it. Tempted and Tried will not reassure Christians by claiming that temptation is less powerful or less prevalent than it is; instead, it will prepare believers for battle by telling the truth about the cosmic war that is raging. Moore shows that the temptation of every Christian is part of a broader conspiracy against God, a conspiracy that confronts everyone who shares the flesh of Jesus through human birth and especially confronts those who share the Spirit of Christ through the new birth of redemption. Moore walks readers through the Devil's ancient strategies for temptation revealed in Jesus' wilderness testing. Moore considers how those strategies might appear in a contemporary context and points readers to a way of escape. Tempted and Tried will remind Christians that temptation must be understood in terms of warfare, encouraging them with the truth that victory has already been secured through the triumph of Christ.

From the Foreword...This book, as its title forthrightly asserts, is a manual, a blueprint based on experience as well as scholarship, a how-to book for all who take to heart Christ's Great Commission (Matthew 28:9-20). It is a book about evangelism for all Christians whom the Holy Spirit moves to be evangelists, namely, all Christians.Dr. Gregory Tyree has written a book that is exhaustive in its treatment of "soulwinning". He leaves no aspect of evangelism unexplored and his breadth of learning is matched by his own rich experiences as a pastor of four churches. I happen to know first-hand about Dr. Tyree's soulwinning abilities because over a two-month period he taught. He comforted, he counseled, he confounded, and, finally, he led me to trust Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. He led me to a point where the Holy Spirit could pry open my hardened, secular heart and regenerate my lost soul. It was the author of this book who pulled no punches, as happens so often in our postmodern culture, when teaching me what being a Christian really means. He spoke with the firmness and clarity of the prophets, never minimizing the tension that comes from the need to choose --- between truth and untruth. He led me to understand that there is only an "either-or" decision, to accept God's free gift of salvation, to accept Christ. And he did so with brilliance, eloquence, gentleness, strength, compassion, and Christian patience and love --- as he does in the pages that follow.From the Introduction... While many books have been written about evangelism over the years, it seems that today it is almost “unpopular,” even in evangelical churches, to talk about soul-winning. People make light of the “old ways,” and a resurgence of apathy concerning the doctrine of Hell and the methods of evangelism is evident to even the casual observer. While I am no “expert” on soul-winning, I have led a good number to a saving knowledge of Christ. I know the thrill of seeing someone bow his or her head, in my presence, and receive Christ as Savior. I have seen (numerous times) a soul shackled by sin freed by the liberating power of the Holy Spirit! I have seen atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and even bitter ex-church-goers turn from their sin and lost-ness and give, without reservation, their lives to Jesus! There is nothing- I mean NOTHING- to compare to it!So if you, too, have a burden to see people saved; if you care whether or not people spend eternity in Hell; if you want people to go to Heaven; if you want to be obedient to Christ's commission; if you want to bring glory to God, then read on!With these thoughts in mind, the book is designed thusly: 1) reasons Christians avoid soul-winning; 2) getting ready for the “harvest”; 3) pre-evangelism; 4) how to lead someone to Christ; 5) they're saved, now what? 6) getting your church involved in soul-winning; 7) children and evangelism; 8) what's in it for me?; 9) you (almost) cannot fail; and appendices.
