This book is a very good diagnosis of the problem of human sin. Sin can be open and obvious and it can also be hidden behind a façade of morality. What really comes out in this book is the extravagant grace of God toward humanity. This is a truth that needs to be recognized and received. It is also, at times, a truth that we need to be reminded of. This book is a good reminder.
