I have read this book several times, mainly when I feel I need a wake-up call. Michael Brown has written a powerful book here against sin and for holiness, something that is woefully lacking in the contemporary church. I like the way he challenges our choices in entertainment also, it's strange what professing christians choose for their entertainment.

He really paints an ugly picture of sin and gives some good practical advice on how to avoid it.

He quotes extensively from the puritan writers such as John Owen, and from Charles Spurgeon the great preacher of the 1800's. I highly recommend that you get your hands on as many books on holiness as you can and search your heart as society today is headed for hell and wanting to take you with it!

Thanks Michael Brown for writing this, it spurred me on to better things and encouraged me to study this oft-neglected subject. I also recommend the writings of Jerry Bridges on this subject, and check out the puritan sermons as well.

Dr. Michael Brown is a skilled writer. He does his homework on a subject and always fills his books with Scripture. This book is no different. Dr. Brown tackles the issue of holiness. This subject once could be heard in every English speaking pulpit but today we shy away from its teaching because of our pragmatic approach to ministry.

Dr. Brown challenges the Body of Christ to hate sin, love God, and preach the truth in love. Matthew 1:21 tells us that the Son of God was to be called Jesus because He would save His people from their sins. Many people want to be "His people" without being free from their sins. Jesus came to die for our sins (Galatians 1:4) and to set us free completely from a life of sin (1 John 3:6-9). How can we continue in sin (Romans 6:1-4)? We must pursue holiness (Matthew 5:48; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15-16).

What an awesome book! Straight from Browns own experiences and stories while digging deep into the Truth. I have not read a book so convicting and genuine. This is a must read for all Gods people in todays world, where compromise is the norm. It has help unveil the eyes of my heart to Gods Word, and straightens out all the decieving lies we believe as we try to be set apart in a culture that has given itself up to lust, greed, abuse, drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc. Jesus is coming soon and this book will help prepare you until He comes again.(but His Word should always be the First book we read)God Bless!

Many people who have been burnt out from a message of legalism should read this book. This book will restore the message of true holiness without the spirit of legalism. In one of his chapters he addresses a whole chapter on legalism. He defines what legalism is because there are many who have a misunderstanding what legalism is all about. He also addresses in another chapter on grace.

Go and Sin no more is without a doubt a awesome, dynamic book! Perfect for anyone who satan has been messing around with you and you'd like to see freedom. Freedom that can only be gained in Christ. This book gives a call of holiness to the church, and is very well one of the best books I've read this year.

Dr. Michael L. Brown has written a very easy to understand and Biblically based book on a subject that is underemphasized (if not totally ignored) and misuderstood by the majority (in my opinion) in the Christian community. His logic is clear and his Biblical support is without question or argument. I doubt any capable theologian would be able to challenge Dr. Brown on this subject.

By far, chapter 4, "The Fateful End," is the most convicting and heart-searching.

I would also recommend reading Charles G. Finney's views of sanctification in his "Systematic Theology" and J.C. Ryle's, "Holiness."

Mike Brown calls us to a serious change in our lifestyle--a call to holiness. The Bible is very clear on this subject. We are to walk as Jesus did. But this can only come through a change of heart and not just a change in actions. I was very challenged by this book.

This book should be read and re-read by every professing Christian. Every serious student of the Bible should be required to read this book. It is truly a life changing and challenging piece of work.

This book is vintage Dr. Michael Brown. A life changing resource for everyone seeking a deeper walk with Jesus Christ. Dr.Brown calls the believer to holy living ( Be holy for I am holy I Peter 1:16 )and gives practical insight into avoiding the perils of sin and lure of temptation. After reading this book, I am compelled to get it into the hands of my family and friends.

I read this book for the first time over a year ago .... I pick it up every few weeks because I just can't get enough .... It has helped me with my kids especially my daughter .....last year in her Senior year (very challenging) of high school ...and to help prepare her for college...quoting to her and leaving messages all over the house ....
that sin never satisfies and it's never enough and sin always finds you out !!
