Former Senator Takes On the Devil; Dares Christians to Do the Same by AMIR GEORGE for Charisma News
Former Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., has been a successful businessman, congressman, senator, head of the Heritage Foundation, chairman of the Conservative Partnership Institute and somewhere in between it all, an author.
While he has written nonfiction policy and faith books in the past, his newest release, Satan’s Dare, takes on the devil himself in a day and age when it seems out of fashion to even speak of evil.
The novel is based essentially on the first chapter of Job where Satan “dares” God and says, “Has Job feared God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But stretch out Your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse You to Your face” (Job 1:9-11).

“I have spent my life in business and politics, but now see our greatest need is not political reform or new leadership or new political strategies, but a return to the foundations of an America that was dedicated to Judeo-Christian values,” says DeMint.
DeMint says the two forces of politics and faith go together. “All of Western civilization is based on the Bible, and no matter how much we may try to cancel the past, the problem we are facing today is simply trying to move forward without God.”
Satan’s Dare traces the story of two Christian men who suffer great tragedies. One abandons his faith and becomes a world-famous atheist. The other man wrestles with God but clings to his faith.
DeMint cleverly uses the format of a novel to explain in simple terms the fundamentals of Scripture, faith and the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. The characters conclude the death and resurrection of Jesus are not only the basis for faith but the foundation for civilization itself.
