The Way of Repentance

Christian Living

“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.”
