Paradise Regained

Here is a book that will sound very familiar to your own battle against the enemy.

But this battle will show you how to WIN!

Paradise Regained is a sequel to the classic epic Paradise Lost. Author John Milton centers on satan's temptation of Christ in the wilderness and is based on Luke's Gospel account of Jesus' 40-day experience. Paradise Regained vividly describes exchanges between the Saviour and His nemesis.

To whom our Saviour calmly thus replied:- "Thou neither dost persuade me to seek wealth For empire's sake, nor empire to affect For glory's sake, by all thy argument. For what is glory but the blaze of flam,...

Written in the 17th century when the author was completely blind, this book, as with Paradise Lost, is a masterpiece in visual imagery as well as a literary work of art.

A fairer Paradise is founded now For Adam and his chosen sons, whom thou, A Saviour, art come down to reinstall; Where they shall dwell secure, when time shall be, Of tempter and temptation without fear.

From AudioFile:

PARADISE REGAINED is concerned with the devil's temptation of Christ in the wilderness. It's a substantial subject; nonetheless, the work is often seen by critics as a coda to Milton's masterwork, PARADISE LOST. Anton Lesser, a longtime member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, takes us inside Milton's seventeenth-century blank verse with remarkable clarity and emotion. One can almost hear Milton grappling with the English Civil War, the Reformation, and his personal quest to express Christ's divinity through heightened yet comparatively modest phrases. Lesser's voice is completely at one with Milton's subject matter, meter, and language. After three centuries, this work is much more accessible than one might think.
