The Great Duty of Keeping Ourselves from Iniquity by John Whitlock
Edited by Dr. Don Kistler
Hardcover • 152 pages • Smyth sewn • Acid-free paper
Drawn from Psalm 18:23—“I kept myself from mine iniquity”—this rich work by Puritan pastor John Whitlock helps believers fight personal sin—not by legalism, but through humble, watchful obedience to God.
Whitlock explains the difference between a sin that dominates a person’s life and a sin that troubles them without fully controlling them, offering practical guidance for resisting both. Also included is his heartfelt farewell sermon and a funeral tribute from 1709. Printed on acid-free paper with smyth-sewn binding, this edition is crafted with permanence in mind.

Quote from the book
The sensual appetite even of a godly person may be tickled and at present pleased with some sin he is particularly inclined to, yet it is not a beloved lust if as soon as he discovers it, and the present heat of the temptation is over, he mourns over it, watches, prays, believes, and with his most diligent endeavors, strives against it, and does not make provision for it. (p. 11)
