I was going to post a review of Russell D. Moore’s Tempted and Tried but Mike Leake’s review at SBC Voices sums it up well enough: Review of Tempted and Tried | SBC Voices.
Just a few additional comments:
Moore’s crisp writing gets right to the point: temptation is a danger and sin is far more serious than we usually treat it. The author’s candid warnings jarred me in several places; for example, when he calls us to be honest about sin: it’s not that we “struggle with procrastination” but rather that we are “lazy.”
I highly recommend this book and I’d put this right along side some of the best works by Jerry Bridges on the subject.
