The Doctrine of Repentance

Thomas Watson
Banner of Truth, 1668, Reprinted 2009
122 pages

What comes first, faith or repentance? Have I deceived myself into a counterfeit repentance that does not equal biblical repentance? Do I need to repent of my repentance? Thomas Watson tackles such issues in The Doctrine of Repentance with typical aplomb and illustrative style. Don’t be fooled by its title (or cover!). Easy to follow, but to be slowly read, this book deserves your attention as it will sharpen your self-discernment in an age where the words “sin” and “repent” are out of vogue.
