Spiritual-Mindedness (John Owen) (#41)
$8.00$10.00
Thomas Chalmers wrote that Owen’s book on Spiritual-Mindedness holds ‘a distinguished rank among the voluminous writings of this celebrated author’. For him three features made it special:
* The force with which it applies truth to the conscience
* The way in which Owen plumbs the depths of Christian experience as a skillful physician of the soul
* The uncovering of the secrets of the mind and heart so that the true spiritual state of the reader is discovered
This book began as a collection of meditations on Romans 8:6, written for the author’s own benefit during a time of illness. Alarmed by the subtle power the world has over the mind, Owen shows us how to really live by raising our thoughts above all earthly objects and setting them on ‘things above, where Christ is’ (Col. 3:1).

Spiritual-Mindedness
Originally entitled by Owen The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded, this update has been titled Spiritual-Mindedness.
Thomas Chalmers wrote that Owen’s book on Spiritual-Mindedness holds ‘a distinguished rank among the voluminous writings of this celebrated author’. For him three features made it special:
- The force with which it applies truth to the conscience
- The way in which Owen plumbs the depths of Christian experience as a skillful physician of the soul

Meditations on Romans 8:6
This book began as a collection of meditations on Romans 8:6, written for the author’s own benefit during a time of illness. Alarmed by the subtle power the world has over the mind, Owen shows us how to really live by raising our thoughts above all earthly objects and setting them on ‘things above, where Christ is’ (Col. 3:1).
This was a favorite book of William Wilberforce! It comes from the pen of a tender-hearted pastor whose only purpose is to encourage the believer in the ongoing battle against sin. So if you feel overwhelmed by the power of worldliness then this is definitely the book for you.
Modern readers will probably find this volume easier to understand than the full work, and this will no doubt be appreciated. A great deal of hard work has gone into the abridgement and can only stimulate interest in Owen’s important theme. Money spent on it will not be wasted, especially as it may even encourage readers to graduate to the original. For purposes of reference, unless stated otherwise, page numbers and quotations are from the primary source in Volume 7.

Temptation: Resisted and Repulsed (John Owen) (#40)
$7.20In this abridgement of John Owen’s classic work Of Temptation, the famous Puritan theologian opens up Matthew 26:41, carefully explaining what temptation is and what it means to enter into it. Owen then shows how Christ teaches two means for Christians to use in order to guard against this danger, namely watching and praying:
“These two”, Owen says, “comprise the whole endeavour of faith for the souls preservation from temptation”, and he insists that it is the duty of every believer to follow diligently Christ’s instructions to avoid falling into temptation. Owen helpfully applies his teaching, explaining how we can know whether we have entered into temptation, what practical steps we should take to preserve our souls from entering into it, how to identify those particular times when people tend to enter into temptation, and showing us the best ways of watching the heart itself.
