Book Review: The Vanishing Conscience

At long last I am finding time to do a book review. I actually have a couple recently read books in the "queue", and am reading a third. So perhaps reviews will be a little more frequent around here. Or not.

Anyhoo...a while ago I finished reading John MacArthur's outstanding work The Vanishing Conscience.

This book is about sin. More specifically, it is about how our culture (and how we as individuals) try to remove the effects of sin (namely guild) without dealing with the problem.

In the first chapter, entitled "Whatever Happened to Sin", the author asks the following pointed question:

When was the last time you heard an on-the-air counselor tell someone suffering from conscience pangs, "Your guilt is valid; you are sinful and must seek full repentance before God"?

What follows is a withering diagnosis of the sin problem, and a faithful pointing to it's cure.

The Vanishing Conscience is convicting, convincing, and correcting.

To buy this or other great books, visit our Amazon bookstore.
