Synopsis
A brilliant and satirical look at today’s spiritual warfare—told through letters written by a Senior Tempter to a new, Junior Tempter under his tutelage.
The Evil One has updated and modernized his lies and temptations, but his objective is the same: steer one more soul onto the broad road that leads to his home Below.
Follow along as Senior Demon Deumus teaches fledgling tempter Bentrock how to steer his prey, a Texas prison inmate, toward the wide gate that leads to destruction. One would think that securing the damnation of this "bunch of criminals, thugs, and addicts" would be an easy task, but, as Deumus notes, it is not. "If they start to consider themselves - now naked and in a cage - the terrible, awful, incontrovertible truth occurs to even the hardest heart: I was made for more than this."
Readers will find themselves immersed in this realistic look at how tempters cynically leverage the modern culture and our human weaknesses to pursue their prey, both in prison and in the "free world". Fortunately for our inmate, he is not alone in this fight. None of us are.
In the tradition of C.S. Lewis' classic work The Screwtape Letters, Lucifer's tempters pursue a new generation of "Prey" inside a Texas Prison.

About the Author
Joseph "J.B." Cyprus is the pen name for someone who is not famous and whose real name would certainly not help sell books. He lives in Houston, Texas, is an executive in the renewable energy industry, a part-time venture capitalist, a repentant former management consultant, and a veteran of the US Military. Most of all, he is a person who strives and often fails to faithfully follow Jesus. He wrote a book about temptation and sin because it is the one theological subject about which he knows a great deal.
J.B. holds an MBA from one of those snooty, overpriced Ivy League universities and an undergraduate degree from a somewhat less snooty public university. He was born in the Northeast US and has lived in Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina before settling in Texas. He has also lived or worked in several countries in Europe and in Asia. He is married and has two adult children.
J.B. has spent more than a decade as a volunteer in both the Jubilee Prison Ministry and the Kairos Prison Ministry and has served at numerous Texas prisons. All proceeds from Letters to Bentrock go to help support prison ministry programs.
