About this book
The Warfare of the Soul, subtitled Practical Studies in the Life of Temptation, is by Shirley Carter Hughson. The preface, by the Rev. Alfred G. Mortimer, D.D., says that if we desired to describe our life here in one word, that word might be Temptation. The preface adds that, from one point of view, the purpose for which we are put into this world is to be tempted, that is, to be tried or tested.
Every baptized soul is a member of the army of the living God, the text says, and the name by which the Body of Christ on earth is called, the Church Militant, is a standing witness of what the life of her members must be. Chapter VIII, The Stages of the Battle, says that the spiritual masters in every age are at agreement concerning the process by which the soul passes from a state of grace into a state of sin, and that when analysed it can be brought down to three steps given us by St. Gregory: Suggestion, Pleasure, Consent.
