Description
In this abridgement of John Owen{u2019}s classic work titled Of Temptation, the famous Puritan theologian opens up Matthew 26:41, carefully explaining what temptation is and what it means to enter into it. He then shows how Christ teaches two means for Christians to use in order to guard against this danger, namely watching and praying. 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. - Publisher.
