What if from the garden until today, deception from the evil one has been the driving force of conflict between men and women? His first tactic of deception worked with Eve, what if it is working on Adam today?The revealing of this deception of Adam and how it is still in play today is our discussion in this book. It is that deception that lessens the efficacy of the Great Commission and has caused, and continues to cause, a huge rift in the church to the benefit only of the evil one.The rift is between Adam and Eve but it is fueled by that great deceiver in the garden. Even with the restoration our Lord brought, the rift is still very deep and very wide today.We are going to pull back the curtain and see the puppet master at work. We will see how we are his unwitting puppets. We must cut the strings.Our common enemy has worked very hard to divide us, but we can stop him in his tracks by recognizing his influence and standing together.We are to fight the enemy, not one another. United against the evil one and set free from his schemes we will finally turn and face him down. The key to doing this is by knowing and living the truth together. He is terrified of our recognizing his hand in the divisions of the church and that we would then unite against him.The evil one has kept us focused on opposition with one another in order to divert our attention from his plans and, in turn, causes us to disempower the church. Imagine what we can achieve by working as a team against this adversary.

Ever since the mid-twentieth century, life has generally been better in western nations for the huge majority of the subsequent generations, born thereafter. This, most notably, in terms of better standards of living and healthcare. However, the traditional family unit has also come under great attack, during this same time, with far more divorces, break ups, along with higher rates of single parenthood and loneliness, than ever before, thus creating a domino effect, leading to a whole array of challenging social issues, further down the line. How has this happened? What, if anything, can be done to reverse this tide? The 'manosphere' movement, which regularly comes under huge criticism, seeks to explore these often troubling and complex issues, more often than not, with a 'no holds barred' approach. Numerous bloggers have gained large and growing fanbases from countless men and boys, the entire world over. Is it totally absurd to place much of the blame on modern feminism? Are those involved in the movement, just a bunch of heartless and misogynist thugs? Or are they genuinely concerned men, telling very uncomfortable truths and who, deep down, actually want the best for women, via tough love? And the biggest question of all is - What would Jesus himself, make of all of this?
