Repentance is purgative--do not fear the working of this pill. "Smite your soul," said Chrysostom, "smite it; it will escape death by that stroke!" How happy it would be, if we were more deeply affected with sin, and our eyes did swim in tears of repentance. We may clearly see the Spirit of God moving in the waters of repentance, which though troubled, are yet pure. Moist tears of repentance dry up sin--and quench the wrath of God. Repentance is the nourisher of piety, the procurer of mercy. The more regret and trouble of spirit we have first at our conversion, the less we shall feel afterwards."Unless you repent, you will also perish." Luke 13:5Repentance is a grace of God's Spirit, whereby asinner is inwardly humbled and outwardly reformed.Repentance is a spiritual medicine made up ofsix special ingredients:1. Sight of sin2. Sorrow for sin3. Confession of sin4. Shame for sin5. Hatred for sin6. Turning from sinIf any ingredient is left out, it loses its virtue."I preached that they should repent and turn to Godand prove their repentance by their deeds." Acts 26:20

He outlines the four steps of repentance: conviction of sin, sorrow for sin, confession of sin, and forsaking of sin. Watson also discusses the benefits of repentance, such as the assurance of God's mercy and the assurance of a better life. He concludes by stressing the importance of repentance and encourages readers to turn to God in repentance and faith.

The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

2020 Reprint of the 1668 Edition. 'The Doctrine of Repentance is probably one of the most needed books, not only for us as ministers, but for our people, because repentance is so trivialized today. [This book] stresses the need for ongoing repentance, a daily repentance, a lifestyle of repentance. Like Luther said, "God will have his people repenting all life long." Watson shows you how to do that.' -- JOEL BEEKE Originally written in 1668, Watson's book explains what repentance is and underscores its significance in Christianity. Watson also provides on explanation of what Scripture has to say about this theme. In all, this is one of the better guides on the subject, a subject that is often neglected in more modern exegesis.
