It’s a testimony to the enslaving power of sin, and of victory over it. It’s a testimony to the wisdom of following God’s path to victory over sin; even when that path seems the least likely to succeed. It’s testimony to the sanctifying power of the Word of God, and to the power of relating to people God’s way.
It’s a hard book to read. Jerry shares the ugliest parts of his struggles, and sin is ugly. Due to the nature of the sin, this is a book for a mature audience, but it has a message we all need to hear.
It’s a straight forward biography of three people struggling for victory over sin. Biblical doctrines are mentioned, even a couple of verses quoted, but teaching the Biblical position isn’t the point of this book. The author assumes he is writing to a Biblically literate audience; so some important doctrines are named but not clearly explained, probably because it is so short. Still, I think a few things should have been taught with a little more depth.
I would recommend it to a mature audience.
