From the editor: "The Adversary" is the invisible minion of the dark forces that is the root cause of spiritual, emotional, mental, or physical distress in an individual's life. This may be mental illness, life-threatening disease, physical or mental handicap, fearfulness, rage, addiction and obsession, and "voices" that control thought and action. Such adversity can lead to incarceration, rape, incest, torture, murder, and suicide -- all arising from the parasitic attachment termed "possession."

The Adversary is "Satan." While translations of the Bible portray Satan as a single being, totally negative in purpose, John Livingston, in his exploration of spiritual beings, has discovered many that play the role. John's experience with clients shows that the trials, temptations, and torments inflicted by The Adversary have the power to break an individual or to produce greater strength of character and resolve of purpose. The outcome is up to the free-will choice of the individual.
