Temptation : Winning the Battle Before the War: In Modern English Paperback / softback
by Jason Roth, John Owen
Paperback / softback
Description
How can we guard ourselves against becoming trapped and overcome by our besetting temptations? John Owen (1616-1683) shows how watching and praying before entering into temptation is key. Jesus gave this command to the disciples on the night he was betrayed (Matt 26:14). This book provides practical suggestions for this work, but it also emphasizes our utter dependence on God and the power of the gospel to keep us from the "hour of temptation."
This book was originally published in 1658 as Of Temptation: The Nature and Power of it, The Danger of entering into it, and The Means of preventing that Danger with A Resolution of sundry Cases thereunto belonging. This edition attempts to make Owen's writing more accessible to modern readers. It includes the following updates:
- Complete and carefully updated text.
- Sentence-level rewriting and rewording for clarity.
- Modern English sentence structure.
- Modern English vocabulary.
- Updated organization and headings.
- English Standard Version (ESV) scripture references.
- Scripture quotations in footnotes.
- Active table of contents.
