The Art of Turning: From Sin to Christ for a Joyfully Clear Conscience

“Short enough to read in one sitting, significant enough to change your whole life.”

“Our conscience is always with us yet its unique purpose in the Christian life is not often explored. This book takes a practical look at the role of the conscience through the lens of Scripture and puts a spotlight on needed truth. It is a resource that gets the reader to dive in with both feet and experience the powerful encouragement and fundamental conviction that the conscience brings to the Christian life. Kevin convincingly helps readers to understand how our consciences are intrinsically connected to our spiritual decline or flourishing. As a biblical counselor I am grateful for this resource as it is sure to be helpful for anyone who reads it.”

“This is a wonderfully clear teaching about a joyfully clear conscience. Its instructive and even perhaps surprising to hear all the Bible has to say on this topic we too often neglect. These words spur us on to walk in open relationship with God, through his Spirit, conscience cleansed by the blood of Christ.”

“As our society loses its moral compass, Christians urgently need the practical and penetrating encouragements which Kevin DeYoung addresses in this short book. He reminds us that our conscience is a vital friend in the Christian life, enabling us to live with freedom and forgiveness. A simple, clear and muchneeded focus on an essential element of Christian growth.”

“Kevin DeYoung engagingly explains what the conscience is, how to have a clear one, and why it matters.”

“This excellent short book takes us, through the lens of a proper Biblical understanding of conscience, to the heart of the Gospel. It is written for Christians, and will do us much good, but I will feel confident in handing it to those exploring the Christian faith.”

“There have not been many modern books written on the place of conscience in the Christian life. I am thrilled that Kevin has written one. Faithfulness to the Bible and clarity of expression are hallmarks of his books. This little book is no exception. I found it stimulating and helpful.”
