"There are certain books which, in a world of many words, stand the test of time, and find themselves returned to time and again. This book is one of them. Contained in these pages is a warm-hearted, incisive, yet deeply substantial treatment of that most crucial of Christian doctrines, the depravity and powerlessness of mankind. How we understand the state of men and women apart from Christ, Pink demonstrates, has enormous implications for how we understand everything else regarding the message of Christianity. A genuine understanding of what the Bible teaches regarding such matters is crucial."
