Sin & Temptation: The Challenge to Personal Godliness Book

Abridged from the writings of the Puritan theologian John Owen (1616-1683), Sin and Temptation helps us recover the concepts of sin and individual responsibility our world has all but destroyed. Owen deals with the problem of our sinfulness, showing that there is far more to indwelling sin than many of us realize.
