From the library

Opening story lesson uses Operation Griffin (Battle of the Bulge) — disguised soldiers in friendly uniforms — as a picture of how the Berzerker’s enemies approach claiming to help. The self is named as the biggest enemy: the heart that wants what it wants, when it wants it.

Scripture tracks lean on Proverbs 27:6, Ephesians 6 armor language, John 16:33 (“take heart; I have overcome the world”), and Jeremiah 17:9 on the deceitful heart.
