practical advice

While the Old English is difficult to follow the practical application of his words are brilliant. Listen to it with a pen and paper next to you or your journal.

The many temptations in life!

Examples of many temptations that we think we are stronger than. Narrated very well.

timeless

Written clearly from a point of view of someone who knows temptation. Timeless in its ability to speak to a modern world.

Several authors I was reading kept referring to this book.

Several authors I was reading kept referring to the great insights John Owens reveals about temptation in the Christian’s life. First published in 1658, it is a great reminder that men and women have faced the same temptations through the ages, just disguised in various forms to suit the times. He looks at temptation from many illuminating angles. The old fashioned wording takes a bit getting used to, but is well worth plowing through.

Highly Recommend

Sound advice from a great Puritan who many have come to admire.

This writing has given me a better understanding of Christ's words to Peter, James and John on the night of His betrayal..... Matthew 26: 41
Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Beyond expectations

Very nice content it was easy content even for non Christians.
Great narration.
Well done

a must-read for True Christians

this is definitely a must-read for True Christians. This man is definitely a great Christian thinker, teacher. it is just amazing the things that the Holy Spirit move him to say and ways that would definitely be impressed upon your heart and give you new insight I rather deeper insight in things that the scriptures reveal.

A Puritan classic!

A powerful, faith-filled, biblically rich expository proclamation on the dangers of temptation. Full of rich application on how we can resist, refute and overcome temptation through the Way of Christ! A call to deep gospel faith and obedience lived out in daily life.

Eloquent and right to the point

Do You think yourself stronger than 1/3 of the angels? Ask yourself this. If you find that you are not, than you must read this book!

Great help to those who with to live godly

Well worth the time to read and/or listen to. Owen is a very thorough author with an extremely practical writing style. Recommend for young and old, but especially see the benefit for the young to consider the thoughts found here as they could potentially save the reader many troubles by taking heed to the warnings and helpful ways of avoiding temptation and sin. I loved the way Owen points out the ways on which sin presents itself and the ways in which it can be avoided.
