    About this ebook

    What is repentance? What does repentance look like? How do I live a life of repentance? This book, The Power of Repentance, addresses these questions, giving clear and insightful instruction regarding God's gift of repentance and its employment in a life that turns from the darkness of sin and self into the light of life in Christ.
    This book is perfect for the pastor looking for a gospel-centered treatment on repentance, the serious-minded Christian desiring to live a life more pleasing to God, or the skeptic seeking to discover what the Bible has to say about finding God, or rather, God finding you.
