His intricacy and complexity are intimidating and his language is downright befuddling at times. However, the depth of thought and the immense value of Owen's works cannot be quantified. His three classic works on sin and temptation are profoundly helpful to any believer who seeks to become more like Jesus Christ. In this volume, the editors have made updates to the language, translated the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew and footnoted difficult or unknown phrases, all without sacrificing any of the wonderful content of Owen's work. It is a uniquely accessible edition of John Owen's previously daunting work. "The editors of this volume have worked hard to make Owen's unrivalled insight into the Christian's inner war with sin accessible to all, and the result is truly a godsend." J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College "To read Owen is to mine spiritual gold. Unfortunately, as in mining, reading Owen is hard work. Now, Kelly Kapic and Justin Taylor have made Owen's work accessible to modern readers while still retaining his unique writing style." Jerry Bridges, Navigators Community Ministries Group "With brilliant editorial efforts and insightful introductions by Kapic and Taylor, John Owen's magnificent treatises on sin and sanctification have been made available for a new generation." David S. Dockery, President, Union University, Jackson, Tennessee "Sin is tenacious, but by God's grace we can hate it and hunt it. John Owen provides the master guide for the sin-hunter. Kapic and Taylor bring together three of Owen's classics, clarifying them in simple ways--but all the substance, the careful, hounding arguments are still there." Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, D.C. "John Owen understood how the gospel makes us well. Three cheers for Kapic and Taylor for introducing a new generation to Owen's peerless works." Sinclair B. Ferguson, Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, S.C. "John Owen is a spiritual surgeon with the rare skill to cut away the cancer of sin and bring gospel healing to the sinner's soul. Apart from the Bible, I have found his writings to be the best books ever written to help me stop sinning the same old sins." Philip Graham Ryken, Senior Minister, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia "No writer has taught me more about the dynamics of the heart and the deceitfulness of sin than John Owen. Read this book carefully; it will help you understand your heart and experience God's grace." C. J. Mahaney, Sovereign Grace Ministries, Gaithersburg, Maryland Average Rating:
 Rating: - Revolutionized my view of killing sinthis book is a must have, simply put. Somewhat difficult to read for me at first but once you get John Owen's flow down it is an amazing book. Great description of sin. Rating: - ITS WHATS NEEDED AS A BELIEVER!!TO ALL SAINTS, this book is necessary to own if you are a true believer. Mortifying Sin in our memebers is necessary if we want to endure the temptations in life. Although when I began reading this classic, it started slow for me to understand, but Now, it picked up! Thank GOD For John Owens Yours in Christ, Raymond Shane Rating: - Owen has the Old Man's home address!I just finished this book, and my title says it all...well, almost-- Owen has you nailed. Your Old Man has certain strategies for interfering with your communion with our Holy God. Your Old Man wants to flee from His presence, and he will prompt you to sin, forcing you to grieve the Holy Spirit in order to give himself a breather from your fellowship with the One whose holiness he desires to avoid. Your Old Man is you--- the old law, the old principle within you---with all your imagination ... Read More Rating: - A must read for those who are pursuing holiness!Absolutely at the top of the list, just under The Holy Book of God, you will find this masterpiece. Of all the oceans I have dared to surf, the ocean of Owens' "Overcoming Sin & Temptation" will quickly grab at your heels and pull you under. However, after returning to the crest of the water, you are ready to dive again. Endless thoughts he ponders on the awfulness and despicableness of sin to which he offers God's Holy Word as the ONLY balm of healing. Any scholar or student of the Word of God must take ... Read More Rating: - Overcoming Sin and TemptationI'm about a third of the way through having owned it for a little over a month, and the book is phenomenal. This is not light reading though, and one must be in a state of high mental and spiritual aptitude, as well as prepared to reread a sentence or two now and again. Concurrently, I'd say this is a book to spend some time with rather than trying to rush through in a week or two. They just don't write 'em like they used to...America we need revival!!!
