About this audiobook
Are you losing your ability to recognize sin? Are you becoming a person who finds it easy to shift blame, deny guilt, or excuse moral failure in yourself or others?
In this challenging yet compelling book, John MacArthur encourages you to confront the culture's flight from moral responsibility. With sound biblical truth, this book shows how and why sin must be dealt with if you are to live in a way that pleases God. With clairty and insight, John MacArthur provides you with solutions for attaining a personal holiness that can take you from living a life of blame and denial to one of peace and freedom.
Praise for The Vanishing Conscience:
". . . a wake-up call and an alarm to jolt the sleeping church. Not all will like it, but all should read it. In this day of morality by majority, self-centered ministry, and twilight-zone theology, a clear word like this is long overdue." ?Dr. Adrian Rogers, Pastor, Bellevue Baptist Church
". . . a clear and prophetic word that we must hear and heed." ?Dr. Joseph M. Stowell, President, Moody Bible Institute
"With the clarion call of a prophet, MacArthur points us back to something we have forgotten: the value and importance of a clean conscience." ?Greg Laurie, Senior Pastor, Harvest Christian Fellowship

One of Dr MacArthur’s best books! It brings to stark reality the depths of depravity of sin in the world, including the struggles within the church/believer.
A very practical reminder to not leave sin unchecked, and how to resist temptation, and how to walk through repentance when failure occurs as well as the importance of doing so quickly. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

John’s way of articulating our demise is on point, both powerful and convicting! Suggested for ANYONE who not only needs to heed the word of God but to have better understanding on self reflection on a healthy spirit led way. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

This is a wonderful book. How truthfully it tells the nature of us and how we are inherently wicked and wretched and how we ought to live in this fallen world.
A Must read for everyone - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Always exceptional. Hard to believe this was written in 1994. That makes one shudder.
