Joe Barnard has written a book to help men not only wake up to the existence of sin in their lives, but, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to tackle it head on. This may seem like a daunting task. Although few would admit it publicly, privately many share the deep anxiety that the resources of the gospel are inadequate to deal with – not the guilt of sin – but the power of sin. Sin may look like an insurmountable problem when measured by the stature of a fallen man, but to God, sin is no more than a weed planted in sand. This book is for men who are willing to fight and it will arm them for the task at hand.

… practical, clear, and deliberate. Mortifying sin is not a popular topic today, however, it is as important as ever. Without understanding and applying the principles contained in Matthew 5:27–30, the Christian will not make much progress in their pursuit of spiritual growth.
