For anyone who wavers at times between obeying the voice of the conscience and giving in to the lower nature, this book offers sage advice for coming through the struggle.

Review Quotes

A concise, straightforward work written from a pastor's heart...Sounds a warning to the self-oriented, therapeutic tendencies of our day.

Arnold's writing is full of love. His deep-rootedness in Christ makes him a very wise, a very safe, and a very challenging guide.

Loving and sensitive, Arnold makes his readers feel encouraged rather than condemned.

Reminds me of Kierkegaard's great classic, Purity of Heart. Both force you to look deep within your own life.

With deep insight into the workings of the mind, Arnold brings us towards deliverance by union with Christ.
