68/100
👎 Skip It
Wilson's diagnostic approach to what real spiritual transformation looks like is biblically grounded and draws credibly on thinkers like Jonathan Edwards. It's aimed more at pastors and small groups than a broad audience, and there's not much outside critical coverage to lean on. Van Tracy's narration is direct and clear, well-suited to the book's self-examination focus.
