Repentance

by Rick Renner

Most people associate repentance with displays of emotion that signal regret. But the emotional responses of remorse, guilt, or regret are insufficient to produce behavioral change. In fact, those toxic emotions may lead to an even deeper sense of hopelessness, defeat, and despair without the restorative power of true repentance. Genuine repentance dispenses with any attempt to remove guilt through a show of emotion. When activated, it leaves in its powerful wake the fruit of a changed life blazing a trail toward true deliverance, freedom, and salvation. This is the life God desires for us a life waiting on the other side of a door called repentance.

Short and essential

True repentance is the birth-canal through which people enter the Kingdom of God. Therefore it is essential to know what it is. This book explains it clearly and contrasts it with guilt, remorse and sorrow to show what is the difference. Rick’s profound understanding of the Greek language helps the reader to understand this essential subject and apply it in one’s own life.

Repent!

This is a very short read but filled with information concerning true repentance. It convicted my heart because I thought I knew what real repentance was, but I have been corrected. My favorite part is the author's explaining the differences between guilt, remorse, and repentance. It's definitely worth reading!

Informational and concise

I like the breakdown and how Rick will take a scripture and give you the Greek meanings to add to the implications of what was being said for a fuller understanding. I truly didn't understand repentance for a long time and how it's a continual, intentional decision.

Not finished yet, but…

I may upgrade my rating after I finish reading this book. In the first couple of chapters I felt dizzied by the circling around a point over and over again. Quite repetitive. It doesn’t take saying the same thing five different ways to get the message across.

Repentance and what it truly means.

This book gives a much better understanding of what repentance truly means. I said that prayer and want to change to be what God desires of me.
