The Mortification of Sin
I was first introduced to John Owens by J.I. Packer in his book The Quest for Godliness. My first reading of the Death of Death in The Death of Christ formed a bond between me and Owen's through his writings. He is indeed a complete Theologian. As for me, John Owens has done all the theological heavy lifting during the Puritan era. Interesting enough, Dr, Packer has once again fueled my love for John Owens through his work The Mortification of Sin. With high recommendation, I recommend this work for believers and unbelievers alike. Every Christian should be encouraged to read this work at least one time. Once you start reading the book, it's hard to put down due to Owen's precision in the things of God. This will make a great Christmas gift for those you love. Tolle Lege
