This work by John Owen offers a practical and biblical plan for understanding the power of the enemy and the strategies of sin and temptation. By helping Christians understand the nature of sin, Owen reveals a path to victory through communion with and reliance on God. While sin works to pull Christians away from God and from obedience to him, this powerful guide demonstrates how to combat that and instead grow closer to God. Owen reveals that strengthening the mind to deny sin will allow the soul to exercise the kind of spiritual growth that enriches and sustains it and further removes the temptation of sin.

Owen's writing here can take some getting used to (he's a bit ponderous and, of course, the language is old-fashioned), but he has a ton of good insights into how sin works in our lives - many of which I recognized in myself. So the text here is great and useful, although I wish the writing was more accessible.

However, following along in the Kapic/Taylor edited version of this book, I was very disappointed to see this audiobook stops at chapter 13, when Owen's original keeps going for another 4 chapters and 40 pages - no idea why these were cut or why it wasn't mentioned. The narrator does a decent job at keeping the flow going and enunciating the text clearly, but every few minutes makes an obvious minor mistake (things like say "unconceived of this truth" instead of "unconvinced of this truth", or "Romans 2" instead of "Romans 12", etc.) - often enough that I thought it worth mentioning.

Overall I found this helpful for following along in the text version, but I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 4 because of the unmentioned missing chapters.

Great work, fine narration, but text incomplete
