Excellent! Edward Anton really digs into the scriptures and the original languages to find a good definition of repentance that isn't tainted by traditions or opinions.

A fantastic read for the Body of Christ of much-needed proportions!!!
I've always struggled with the seemingly endless cycle of sin-repent-sin-repent-sin-repent-sin and unfortunately began to wonder at times if I even was a Christian, after all of this? Yet, the word 'repentance' has a much more profound and encouraging word from the original Greek that is 'metanoia'. Thus, I am now beginning another book by a man named Treadwell Walden who also engages with this long-lost biblical meaning of the Greek word 'metanoia'. I would strongly exhort anyone seeking to grow in both their own knowledge and obedience in the Lord to plumb the depths of the word 'metanoia', as well.

I spent a long time reading this book--made even longer by forgetting to pack it on summer vacation and then having fuzzy sepsis brain after. Overall I found the book thought-provoking and full of useful/helpful concepts. I definitely think I got more out of the first half, and that the very long gap of time negatively impacted my connection with the second half.
