Description

Your conscience can be your greatest friend or your greatest enemy.

A guilty conscience creates dread, unrest, and isolation, leading some to harden themselves toward God and driving others to desperate lengths to get right with him. But Jesus Christ offers us the joy of a clear conscience—free of self-righteousness or self-deception.

This little book is an invitation to rediscover your conscience in a bright biblical light. Learn how your conscience, when understood properly and carefully nurtured, serves as a guide that can lead you to a joyful, Christ-honoring life of repentance and faith.

Endorsements

“Your conscience is far more influential in your daily life than you may realize. You could think of it as a superpower given by God, providing you with the ability to sense right and wrong in the thousand daily choices you make. So it’s vital for Christians to guard and nourish that ability with God’s Word. Ash is a wise and compassionate guide to help you do just that.”
—Jeremy Pierre, Professor of Biblical Counseling and Practical Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“How refreshing to see a thoughtful and richly biblical book on the conscience. Christopher Ash performs a vital service for the church by opening up God’s truth about this neglected and therefore misunderstood area of biblical truth.”
—Tedd Tripp, Pastor, Author, Conference Speaker
