Of Temptation

A searching practical treatise on the danger of "entering into temptation," expounding Christ's command to watch and pray. Owen probes the nature of temptation, its seasons and stages, the treachery of the human heart, and the subtle power Satan wields through lust, circumstance, and public corruption. With surgical precision, he identifies how temptation grows to its decisive "hour" and prescribes practical watchfulness: knowing one's own heart, avoiding provocative occasions, storing gospel provisions, and above all keeping the word of Christ's patience — the one condition Christ promises will preserve the soul from temptation's hour.
