The Way of Repentance

“What leads to rejoicing not only for us but also for our Father in heaven? The repentance of one sinner. Grounded in the gospel, this book is filled with profound biblical wisdom on this often neglected subject. Read, mark, and inwardly digest this terrific study!”

Michael Horton

“Chris Brauns's The Way of Repentance makes a significant and helpful contribution to a conspicuously absent topic in modern evangelicalism. This book echoes Luther’s call for repentance, which both begins and marks the Christian life. I commend it to Christians and non-Christians alike, as the way of repentance is the way of salvation and eternal life.”

Steve DeWitt

“Chris Brauns, a skilled and experienced pastor-theologian, helps us understand what repentance is, how to repent, how to evaluate repentance, and how to receive the repentant.”

Andy Naselli

“The prospect of reading a book on repentance made me a little afraid. Would it expose my half-hearted apologies, my middle-aged complacency, my Christianly respectable ‘That’s the way I am’? But from first till last, Chris Brauns’s major note is repentance for joy. After all, he reminds us that the gospel announcement begins with repentance. And perhaps the prodigal son’s joyous welcome home is its most powerful illustration. Chris engages with vivid stories and explains things so clearly. And every time I think he has oversimplified something, he unpacks it with further hard-won simplicity. His work is Scripture-soaked and full of memorable quotes from classic authors and Christian standards, not least the prayers by which he ends each chapter. You will learn to navigate the daily necessity of repentance by reading this book.”
