We all have the same problem: sin. In this book, Thomas Watson puts our sin on full display not to leave us wallowing in despair but to heighten our appreciation of God's matchless grace. He begins by tracing the miserable consequences of Adam's sin and the pervasive grip it has on our lives to this day. He goes on to detail the ways and reasons sin brings us so low and the proper ways to respond. He concludes by walking us through the duty of denying sinful self-absorption. Watson helps us understand how sin causes us to fall short of God's best for us and points us to the remedy in Christ.

“In an age when sin is minimized and self-promotion is rampant, it is challenging to follow the command of Christ to turn from sin and self. In this brief work, Puritan Thomas Watson shows that true gospel freedom is found in a better sight of sin’s ugliness so the contrasting beauty of Christ might be gloriously embraced in a denial of self and a pursuit of following Him.”
