Editorial Reviews

In his typical, very clear way of writing, Dr. Jay Adams has addressed a problem common to all Christians: slow growth. Then he addresses one of the solutions: radical amputation. Explaining radical amputation and illustrating it with two outstanding examples, Adams uses his God-given spiritual gifts and his biblical counseling experience to once again give us a practical resource to help us completely turn from our sin. This is such a good little booklet that I am praying the Lord will use it to help many others. . . . I know that I, for one, will use it with my counselees.
