title: Sinfulness of Sin (Puritan Paperbacks)
author:  Ralph Venning 
description: 'Works like Ralph Venning's <em>The Sinfulness of Sin</em> have steered me into a greater understanding of God, his word, and indeed even my own heart. Few today would dare think so carefully and comprehensively about the Bible's teaching on the stuff of sin. Fewer still would dare write it. Perhaps even fewer have sat to read Venning's cogent study. But any who read this book will never think the same way about sin, evil, and God s grace in Christ Jesus. Thank you, Banner.' --<em>David Garner</em>
