The Smell of Sin: And the Fresh Air of Grace

Rating:
Summary: Real. Fresh
Review: A down to earth, refreshing look into Jesus' view on sin, and his response to it. Everts starts by wiping clean our skewed perception of God and sin. He then shows us the smell of sin through great in-depth study of Jesus' graphic descriptions of it. Finally, he ends with the unmatched, reviving message of hope that only Jesus offers. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a fresh new look at the Word either because of a long time away from it, or because of a heart that has lost its first love.

Summary: Sin Smells Like Roses
Review: The Smell of Sin is a refreshing book about a subject most christians ignore today and that is sin. Don addresses what Jesus thought and taught about the subject and how radically He wanted us to deal with it. As a Reformed believer I didn't appreciate the Arminianism in the book but I still think it a timely book on a timeless subject. His graphic poetry and stories of what sin really smells like are shockingly true. This is down to earth christianity! I wish he spent a little more time on the struggle that the believer continues to have with the old man of sin till death. It's a nice book to read over a couple of times, nice and short but to the point. I will recommend it to my reading friends.
