The Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices

First published in 1652, Puritan preacher Thomas Brooks’s The Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices is a fierce and practical manual of spiritual warfare, written to expose the cunning strategies of the Devil and to arm the faithful with weapons of resistance.

Brooks unveils the deceptions, temptations, and snares by which Satan seeks to destroy souls—subtle sins, counterfeit comforts, and half-truths that lead astray. Yet alongside each device he offers remedies: prayers, disciplines, and divine truths by which the believer may overcome the adversary.

More than theology, this book is a battlefield guide: clear, relentless, and uncompromising. For the Puritans, Satan was no metaphor but a real and present enemy—and Brooks writes as one who knows the cost of underestimating him.
