I pray that this book will be used by God as one of his many means to “grant…repentance.” But in the end, it will be God, and not this book, or any book, that delivers a person from the captivity of the devil’s deceit and opens his eyes to see the superior worth of Jesus Christ. Then, when God grants repentance, he will prize Christ above all treasures and savor him above all pleasures. That is a gift. I pray for every reader who needs it: Lord, grant them repentance.
