How would you like to fight an enemy who, just as you have him on the ropes, always evades the final blow? An enemy who hides just out of reach, lulling you into a false sense of security, until he drops from nowhere onto your back? That's the advantage of indwelling sin-it lurks in an unsearchable fortress where you can't get to it. But if God has redeemed us from sin-and given us his Holy Spirit to sanctify us and give us strength against sin-why do we go on sinning? Drawing from two masterful works by English theologian John Owen, Kris Lundgaard takes aim at the enemy within. He shares his discovery of hope and renewed love for Christ, as well as an approach to holiness by faith in him.… (plus d'informations)
Why do I keep on sinning? This book takes dead aim at the heart of ongoing sin. Drawing from two masterful works by John Owen, Kris Lundgaard offers insight, encouragement, and hope for overcoming the enemy within.
it was ok. The author definitely has a heart for helping people grow in godliness. No "ah ha!" moments, but it has good basic wisdom. I would recommend this book to teenagers or new Christians looking to get serious about their faith for the first time. ( )
This is another one of those books that I can't really say was an enjoyable read, but I think it is essential reading for any Christian. In a nutshell, the author has attempted to modernize and combine two different works of the puritan theologian John Owen (Indwelling Sin, and The Mortification of Sin) so as to make them more accessible to a 21st century audience. This has been a convicting read, and an inspiring read, and it is a book that I can see myself returning to again in the future. It can easily be read in a chapter-a-day format, and there are also study questions at the end of each chapter that might be helpful, especially if this is being read for a group study. ( )

PREFACE: My aim may be expressed in one unretouched sentence from the end of Owen's preface to "The Mortification of Sin": I hope I may own in sincerity, that my heart's desire unto God, and the chief design of my life in the station wherein the good providence of God had placed me, are that mortification and universal holiness may be promoted in my own and in the hearts and ways of others, to the glory of God; that so the gospel of our Lord and Savious Jesus Christ may be adorned in all things: for the compassing of which end, if this little discourse . . . may in any thing be useful to the least of the saints, it will be looked on as a return of the weak prayers wherewith it is attended by its unworthy author", Kris Lundgaard
