The enemy within

"The great Puritan John Owen has long helped Christians detect the sin that dwells within them, also known as the flesh. Kris Lundgaard presents Owen's teaching on the battle with sin—no more, no less—without stripping it down and updated for today's readers, with questions that help us take the struggle seriously. This book is sure to be a milestone for many, just as Owen's original was for many in the past. I wholeheartedly commend what Lundgaard has done." J. I. Packer, Regent College

"John Owen's treatises on indwelling sin in believers and the mortification of sin are, in my opinion, the most useful writings on personal holiness ever written. However, his heavy 17th-century style is too much for most readers today. In "The Enemy Within," Kris Lundgaard has done a remarkable job of making Owen's teaching readable once again. This is not a 20th-century revision of Owen, but a fresh, contemporary book, highly readable, written in Lundgaard's own style, yet remarkably faithful to Owen's teaching. Every Christian who is serious about holiness should read this book." Jerry Bridges, The Navigators

"Kris Lundgaard has done the impossible. He has given us some of the best of Puritan theology in language we can all understand. But beware. His penetrating style, as he exposes the deceitfulness of sin, will be a challenge for radical spiritual transformation! Richard L. Pratt Jr., Reformed Theological Seminary

"A skilled advocate of the Reformed faith, Kris Lundgaard presents a thorough and well-articulated battle plan for taking up arms against the flesh. Facing and overcoming sin is a constant struggle for every believer. This is a must-read for all who wish not to wave the white flag and surrender to sin, but to firmly defeat it." Steven J. Lawson, Pastor, Dauphin Way Baptist Church

"Kris Lundgaard has given us a delightful book. Most books on sin either don't take God's holiness very seriously or emphasize it until it becomes impossible to deal with guilt. This book is honest, real, and, best of all, gives hope. This book helps you fight. Read it. You will rejoice."
