He follows with sound, biblical methods for combatting the enemy. Satan has a course he would like each of us to take, but as Dr. Lutzer notes, we can choose Christ's glorious plan for our lives and "shatter Satan's evil plan."

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
