Founder of Teen Challenge Shows How to Overcome Persistent Sins
This is David Wilkerson's capstone teaching, poured out from a heart that discovered the power God has given his people to triumph over sin. Through Wilkerson's expert ability to blend teaching with personal application, he shows that the key to defeating life-controlling habits is found in one thing: the new covenant God enacted with his people.
In today's era of pop psychology, most Christians battle temptation and sin through self-help techniques or gritty self-will. Even Wilkerson, through decades of ministry that led hundreds of thousands to salvation and deliverance, struggled to know true peace as he battled his own "besetting sins." Determined to find victory, Wilkerson came to grasp the stunning reality that the vast love of God provides the spiritual resources believers need to obey his every command.
Gathered from some of his most prominent sermons, this is one of Wilkerson's most powerful teachings--one that will redeem countless lives into the life-giving experience of purity.

Break Free from the Power of Sin Once and for All
If you hate to keep falling into sin; if you grieve over a life-controlling habit; if you are crying out to the Lord to deliver you from the enemy's snares; if you feel helpless, weak and despondent in the face of temptation; then there is good news:
The concept of the New Covenant sounds theological and theoretical. Yet with seasoned clarity and warmth, David Wilkerson makes it accessible to all believers. He shows that through the glorious provisions of the New Covenant, God has given you all the spiritual resources you need to defeat life-controlling sins. Here, in the pages of Brother Dave's most powerful teaching, you will be enabled to stop the seemingly unending cycle of sinning and confessing, sinning and confessing. True transformation, renewed hope and lasting peace--these can be yours today. "Wilkerson has left behind an encouraging, liberating roadmap for finding victory by accepting the many facets of God's love and grace as laid out in the New Covenant."--Worship Leader "It's biblical and insightful and down to earth as one would expect from David Wilkerson. There are also a series of excellent reminscences on David Wilkerson himself and reflections on what he was talking about, that really help add to the gentle tone of remembrance. The discussion questions at the end of each chapter are also excellent both for individual study and also for group work. A great book and fitting memorial to David Wilkerson."
