This book should be read by everyone who professes to believe the Bible's view of sin. Owen's knew his subject extremely well. It's so sad to see what kind of shape the evangelical church is in when one views so much of the nonsense on today's "Christian" TV. This book, read and acted upon would correct so much that is wrong with the Church today. The problem is SIN and Owens hits it dead on.
This book was a mind blower to me! I only wished that I had read it years ago. I would have been able to understand what Paul wrote, Why do I do the things I don't want to do? It explains the indwelling sin that we fight each day of our life and with Christ, how to keep it at odds with our Christianity and desire to obey.John Owen's books are awesome!Don't miss this one!
You wouldn't think so from the title but this Puritan writing is very revealing of human nature and at the same time very informative as a way to deal with sin in a most positive way. It actually gives insight for daily living.
As deep an understandings of the way in which human sinfulness works with in the human psyche as ever written. Takes a bit more focus and concentration to read (due to the older English) but worth ever bit of effort it takes to get it all in.
My first reaction to this was negative, until I began to read it closely!I began to realize that all this does is challenge us to clear out the rubble in our lives to allow Christ to shine clearly! Every Christian should read it and re-read it!
Spend some time reading this along with Romans 7, you may find it very revealing and rewarding to do so. Our men's leadership meetings are going through these two sources right now. I highly recommend it for others. What do you have to lose? You certainly will gain a lot of understanding! I pray you grow in your relationship with the Lord while doing so.
If you can get past the somewhat archaic language there is a great timeless message. Earlier generations didn't have to worry about if there was a God or if He loved us or if the Bible was inspired by God--Some spent their time digging deepfor the Bible's time tested Truths.
Please note, this is written in the mid 17th century, so the style and wording is not even close to modern method of writing. Once you get past this, Owen's studying of Scripture and Greek is very acute to what sin is, something the modern church avoids like the plague. Sin is a danger and an enemy of God, and we must learn to understand what it is, what it does, and what it eventually will do.Don't read it fast, take it easy and let your mind soak it in. If you want to get closer to God, read this to know sin. Once you realize how it keeps you from God (Isaiah 59:2), maybe you will see why we aren't growing toward Christ as we ought.
