On Temptation and the Mortification of Sin

As a classic, this book expounds on the temptation that leads man to sin. It is a wordy illustration that reveals how Lord Jesus Christ encountered Satan’s temptations. That’s a timeless model to be followed. Prayer, being one of the most apt acts on our part in sanctification, it adds on to the divine provision from Christ, which is already done. This magnificent work is from John Owen, one among the most learned and active Puritan of the seventeenth-century. The learning can be, what temptation is, and what it means to enter into temptation, the power of temptation, marks of having fallen in temptation, the role of prayer, preventive measures and adherence to Christ’s patience, and more. It is a relevant title that augments teachers of the theology, even today.
