Pastor John Piper shows how to sever the clinging roots of sin that ensnare us, including anxiety, pride, shame, impatience, covetousness, bitterness, despondency, and lust in Battling Unbelief. When faith flickers, stoke the fire. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it offers some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us, until we believe that God is more desirable than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Only the power of God’s superior promises in the gospel can emancipate our hearts from servitude to the shallow promises and fleeting pleasures of sin. Delighting in the bounty of God’s glorious gospel promises will free us for a less sin-encumbered life, to the glory of Christ. Rooted in solid biblical reflection, this book aims to help guide you through the battles to the joys of victory by the power of the gospel and its superior pleasure.

Edward Dennett (1831-1914) produced many books of sound Christian teaching. This volume collects short pieces written in the 1870s and 1880s, from original sources. It brings together basic teaching on the gospel and the Christian path. Mr Dennett had gift in explaining fundamental subjects clearly, and was used to set out the truth in a way which addresses many questions that believers are still asking today - more than 130 years later.
