Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers

A Puritan Guide

De: John Owen

Narrado por: Tom Parks

Written by John Owen, one of the best known of the Puritans. In The Mortification of Sin, John Owen insisted on the importance of the Christian dealing effectively with their sinful tendencies and attitudes. He believed that God, through his Word and Spirit, had provided the guidelines and the power for this to be achieved. Owen effectively dismisses various excuses for not engaging in self scrutiny and yet avoids the current trend of self absorption. In so doing he provides principles to help believers live lives of holiness. As with all of Owen's writings, continues to be widely read and greatly appreciated to this day.

Striking and weighty

narrator had a tall task to capture the depth and concepts considering the dated language. but the content is worth the work.

The extensive biblical wisdom of Owen cannot be overstated.

This is one of the few books I make myself read every year because it is so spiritually important to consistently mortify our sin.

very useful in practical life.

old English. little hard to stay focused at times. but very good book. useful content.

Powerful

A must read (hear) for every true believer in Jesus Christ as Lord! Sin is our enemy. How do we yo fight it. Mr. Owen points the way.

Hits Home

Fantastic book for any true believer in the God of the bible and His Christ.
It truly points to the heart of the evil that all endure and must live with and speaks to the heart the way and means to control the evil that lies within us all even the saved. It will certainly remind you what you "must" do each and everyday to deal with the pain of sin in ones life John Owen does not mix words and it's as though he's speaking directly to you the individual listening to this one of a kind.
I MOST HIGHLY recommend it, even to those who think they've got a handle on their sinfulness.

Heavy

If hard sermons create soft hearts for repentance, this sermon is a jackhammer. Might want to listen in segments with some gospel in-between...

great introduction into Puritan authors.

I thought is was and excellent book and, although I was slightly intimated by the older language, it was fairly easy to follow along with if you're actively listening.

A profound matter.

The subject is of essential importance, but not easy to expose. John Owen does it, but this is a book to be read more than once.

Good stuff.

The material in this book is applicable and much needed. The somewhat dated language used made it a little difficult to understand at times in this audio book format. You may need to back up and listen to some parts a number of times to fully grasp what is being said.

Great reading of a very difficult book

This book is a classic work by Owen, and I was actually able to follow once I got used to the language, thanks in part to the clear reading.
