I read a book years ago called, I think it's called The Worth of the Soul by Stephen Cramer.
It's got to be 20 or 25 years ago. But he had some really bad temptations and habits that he was dealing with. Felt like Satan kind of whispered to him and said, listen, give in to all these temptations and you'll enjoy all the happiness of which you are capable.
