My Tortured Conscience / Weber, Martin / (PB/1991-1991/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: May have moderate back cover wear, otherwise in good condition.*

"I stopped at nothing in my quest for a Christlike character," Martin Weber writes. "My motive in self-denial was getting rid of anything that would deter me from depending on Jesus and becoming like Him. But it was Christ-center legalism. Instead of accepting Christ's accomplishments as my own, I compete with His righteousness. My hyperactive conscience, yearning to please God, robbed me of my friends, family, scholarships, dreams, health, and nearly life itself."

As a child, Martin Weber's concept of God was distorted by guilt and fear. For years he struggled to obtain perfection and God's acceptance, hopelessly trapped in a spiritual Siberia.

His story--compelling, painfully honest, and compassionate--reveals how God's mercy saved him just in time. It traces his spiritual metamorphosis from what he calls a "legalism by faith" experience to a relationship with Christ filled with joy and assurance. Share in his liberating discoveries about righteousness by faith and receiving a new heart. "I stopped at nothing in my quest for a Christlike character," Martin Weber writes.
