Knowing Sin (Mark Jones)
$12.50We don’t talk a lot about sin these days. But maybe we should. The Puritans sure did—because they understood sin’s deceptive power and wanted to root it out of their lives. Shouldn’t we want the same?
Though many books have been written on the “doctrine of sin,” few are as practical and applicable as this one. In Knowing Sin, Mark Jones puts his expertise in the Puritans to work by distilling the vast wisdom of our Christian forebears into a single volume that summarizes their thought on this vital subject. The result isn’t a theological tome to sit on your shelf and gather dust, but a surprisingly relevant book to keep by your bedside and refer to again and again. You’ll come to understand topics like:
- Sin’s Origin
- Sin’s Grief
- Sin’s Thoughts
- Sin’s Temptations
- Sin’s Misery
- Sin’s Secrecy
- and of course . . . Sin’s Defeat!
None of us is free from the struggle with sin. The question isn’t whether we’re sinful, it’s what we’re doing about it. Thanks be to God, there is a path to overcoming sin, in Christ.

The Mortification of Sin (John Owen) (#34)
$8.00One of the most valuable of all volumes in the Puritan Paperbacks series: in this faithful and careful abridgement of Owen’s classic work, this foremost of Puritan pastors shows us how to engage in lifelong warfare against the sinful tendencies that remain in us. Owen shows how the power of the Holy Spirit may be relied upon for success in this battle.
Fighting sin with human strength will produce only self-righteousness, superstition and anxiety of conscience. But with faith in Christ, and with the power of the Spirit, victory is certain. The temptations in times like Owen’s and ours are obvious on every side; the remedy to them is clearly pointed out in this practical and helpful book.

The Sinfulness of Sin (Ralph Venning) (#8)
$9.75We cannot understand the Christian gospel until we know what sin is. Yet modern secular counselors urge us both to ignore the term “sin” and what it implies about our rebellion against God and His law.
Sadly, the church has succumbed to embracing much of this worldly wisdom rather than remain faithfully reliant on the Word of God to help us understand the truth about sin. Only when we accept our sinfulness, on God’s terms, can we ever rejoice in His forgiveness.
“Works like Ralph Venning’s The Sinfulness of Sin have steered me into a greater understanding of God, his word, and indeed even my own heart. Few today would dare think so carefully and comprehensively about the Bible’s teaching on the stuff of sin. Fewer still would dare write it. Perhaps even fewer have sat to read Venning’s cogent study. But any who read this book will never think the same way about sin, evil, and God’s grace in Christ Jesus.” – David Garner
