Fredrich, Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Minnesota</P><P>“This book warns us of Satan’s efforts to turn us from Christ to ourselves. It comforts us with the assurance that the cross of Christ leads to heavenly glory.”<BR/> –Professor James F. Korthals, Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, Mequon, Wisconsin</P>
