This work by John Owen offers a practical and biblical plan for understanding the power of the enemy and the strategies of sin and temptation. By helping Christians understand the nature of sin, Owen reveals a path to victory through communion with and reliance on God. While sin works to pull Christians away from God and from obedience to Him, this powerful guide demonstrates how to combat that and instead grow closer to God. Owen reveals that strengthening the mind to deny sin will allow the soul to exercise the kind of spiritual growth that enriches and sustains it and further removes the temptation of sin.
