5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tool for battling sin!, January 11, 2001

By	Jeff Rendell (West Chester, PA United States) - See all my reviews

If you're a Christian struggling with sin - especially repetitive sin, and can't seem to break the cycle. This book is for you.

The book is very easy to read and the applications are very apparent throughout the book. The book is very challenging but you walk away from it with a good idea of how to battle the sin in your life.

Probably the best outcome of this book was that I realized that fighting sin is really an all-out war that we need to be ready to fight, with the power of God (and not our own power) spurring us on.

5.0 out of 5 stars John Owen for Dummies, March 15, 2004

By	Brian G Hedges (Niles, Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Have you ever wanted to read the Puritans but felt too intimidated to give it a try? You are not alone. And now, you can get the same doctrine without the cumbersome sixteenth century grammar and syntax. Kris Lundgaard's book distills John Owen's powerful books on Indwelling Sin and The Mortification of Sin into easy to understand, bite-zize chapters that edify and instruct without tripping your mental circuit breakers! If you, like me, often find yourselves living in Romans 7:14-25 and want to know how to kill sin, get this book. It will furnish you with sharp weapons.

5.0 out of 5 stars A most excellent book dealing with overcoming sin., March 27, 2000

By	Calvin Lindstrom (Prospect Heights, IL) - See all my reviews

The Enemy Within presents in an easy to read format the great work of the Puritan theologian John Owen. It is one of the most helpful books I have read on the subject of indwelling sin in the life of the Christian. The writing is enjoyable and to the point. The book is excellent for use in a small group study. It is easy to read and quite accessible for younger readers. It is a book that you will want to read more than once and prayerfully put into practice. The power behind the book is not the author but the word of God which he explains. May God bless you as you read this book.
