MARK JONES

We dont talk a lot about sin these days. But maybe we should. The Puritans sure didbecause they understood sins deceptive power and wanted to root it out of their lives. Shouldnt we want the same?

Though many books have been written on the "doctrine of sin," few are as practical and applicable as this one. InKnowing Sin, Mark Jones puts his expertise in the Puritans to work by distilling the vast wisdom of our Christian forebears into a single volume that summarizes their thought on this vital subject. The result isnt a theological tome to sit on your shelf and gather dust, but a surprisingly relevant book to keep by your bedside and refer to again and again. Youll come to understand topics like sins: origin, grief, thoughts, temptations, misery, secrecy, and defeat.

None of us is free from the struggle with sin. The question isnt whether were sinful, its what were doing about it. Thanks be to God, there is a path to overcoming sin. And the first step on that path to victory is knowing what were up against.
