Christian Life  by

How can we really overcome temptations?
The book Mortification of the Flesh published by John Owen demonstrates the necessity for Christians to wage a life-long war against the wicked tendencies that linger in us despite our conversion to faith and new life in Christ. He recognizes that the only way to win the battle is through faith in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Temptations abound in times long before and through this book practical and helpful solutions are presented. It reintroduces God’s compassion and grace. It has never been easier to comprehend the marvelous love by mortifying the flesh. This is a powerful read that demonstrates God at action and comes from a time when self-mortification was easier due to the severity of more people’s circumstances.
