Purchase options and add-ons
Responding to David's words in Psalm 51:17, "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise," Bunyan addresses the proper condition of the human heart as an acceptable sacrifice, the broken heart.
In "The Acceptable Sacrifice," renowned author John Bunyan explores the profound journey of conversion and the transformative power of a broken heart and contrite spirit.
With his signature passion and wisdom, Bunyan explores the idea of human goodness, revealing how it can blind us and hinder our relationship with God. Drawing from biblical teachings and personal insights, he eloquently presents the vital importance of having a heart that is humbled and willing to be shattered by the revelation of our sinful nature.
Through powerful examples and compelling arguments, Bunyan dismantles the illusions of self-righteousness and religious formalities, highlighting the necessity of true repentance and embracing the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that without a broken heart, our worship and service to God lack true meaning and significance.
"The Acceptable Sacrifice" challenges readers to examine their own hearts and confront their deepest convictions. Bunyan's words resonate with timeless relevance, inviting all to embark on a profound spiritual journey that leads to genuine transformation and restoration in God's presence.

About the author

JOHN BUNYAN (1628-1688) was a Puritan preacher and writer in England. Bunyan had very little schooling. He followed his father in the tinker's trade, and served in the parliamentary army from 1644 to 1647. In 1655, Bunyan became a deacon and began preaching. He experienced marked success from the start and was the pastor of the Bedford church.
Bunyan is the author of The Pilgrim's Progress which he wrote in 1676 while imprisoned for preaching without a license. His numerous other titles include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners and Holy War.

1.0 out of 5 stars Feels like a low quality printout of an epub.
Very disappointing printing of this book. The font is very, very small. Some of the pictures were obviously printed from low resolution images off the internet. There are footnotes referenced in the text that are nowhere to be found. The net result is a low quality, difficult to read publication.
