review 1: Excellent book - though repetitive sometimes, the fact is that I need that kind of repetition to hammer home the concept of grace and change and God's greatness and goodness. I would say there's no magical formula to change...except he captures a four-part concept of it that I think is fairly solid:1. Keep returning to the cross to see your sin canceled and to draw near to God in full assurance of welcome.2. Keep looking to God instead of to sin for satisfaction, focusing on the four liberating truths of God's greatness, glory, goodness, and grace.3. Cut off, throw off, put off, kill off everything that might strengthen or provoke sinful desires.4. Bring sin into the light through regular accountability to another Christian.
review 2: One of the most helpf... moreul books I've ever read on Gospel change. I was unfamiliar with Chester until opening this book, but I'll be going back to him for help. He asks the right questions, and comes from the right view point- that we have no hope of overcoming sin without the help of the Holy Spirit. This is no "you can do it" cheer fest. This is a Christ exalting, God glorifying unpacking of what the death of Jesus means for ALL Christians. I highly recommend it to any and all to read. less
