Want to be happy? Chris Brauns makes a compelling case that repentance is not the end of joy—it’s where it begins. Drawing richly from Scripture, he shows that turning from sin is not merely the entry point of the Christian life, but an ongoing grace for every believer. Accessible, convicting, and deeply practical, this book left me repenting of my repentance! Brauns has written what may become the definitive contemporary treatment of repentance—a book I expect church members will be turning to for years to come.
