An inductee in the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame, he knows the importance of preparation, stealth, and patience. There is another who has been using these very same strategies for millennia, and he's after our souls.
In Decoys of Deception, Jimmy aims to expose Satan's strategic plan to deceive, distract, desensitize, and divide to capture his prey . . . YOU! Using real-life stories (like sharing a blind with Phil Robertson), sound biblical analysis, and gripping narratives, Jimmy dives deep into the darkest areas of spirituality, including the origin of evil and its lasting effect on mankind.
This book serves as a wake-up call to people of all ages and backgrounds to recognize and fight against Satan's schemes. It is also a message of great hope that one day, brilliant light will overcome all darkness when God out-deceives the Great Deceiver in the chess game of the ages.
