John Piper demonstrates that God’s gracious promises are the power by which we overcome everyday sins and honor God more fully.

Severing the Root of Sin with the Promises of God

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.

Pastor John Piper shows how to sever the clinging roots of 8 common sins that ensnare us: anxiety, pride, shame, impatience, covetousness, bitterness, despondency, and lust. 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.

Practical: fresh introduction and conclusion paired with distilled application chapters from John Piper’s larger volume, Future Grace
Explores Sanctification: Helps readers put sin to death and trust in the power of God instead
Written by John Piper: Author of Desiring God; Don’t Waste Your Life; Providence; and more
