Sin’s Overthrow: A Treatise on Mortification by John Preston

Edited by Dr. Don Kistler
Hardcover โ€ข 216 pages โ€ข Smyth sewn โ€ข Acid-free paper Available mid-July

Sin does not surrender quietly. It grows, shifts, and deceives. John Preston knew this, and in Sin’s Overthrow, he refuses to let the reader settle for anything less than true mortification.

Drawing from Colossians 3:5, Preston unfolds what true mortification is โ€” and is not โ€” exposing the counterfeits that leave sin alive in the heart while the Christian assumes the battle is won. Here is Puritan theology at its most practical: doctrine that searches the conscience, motives that stir the will, and means that actually work. Preston writes not for the library shelf but for the soul in conflict.

Sin’s Overthrow is a book for every believer who has ever wondered why sin keeps coming back โ€” and what, by God’s grace, can be done about it.

About the Author

John Preston stood at the crossroads of court politics and gospel ministryโ€”but chose the pulpit over prestige. A brilliant scholar, he taught in Cambridge, where his lectures drew crowds beyond capacity. Though admired by King James and offered high offices, Preston declined and remained faithful in his existing ministry. His sermons were known for their theological clarity, pastoral urgency, and fearless proclamation of truth. He preached until his death at age 41, famously saying, โ€œI shall change my place, but I shall not change my company.โ€

Quote from the book

Image
Mortification is not a one day only thing, but it must be a continual work. When you have slain sin today, you must slay it again tomorrow; for sin is of a quickening nature; it will revive if it is not deadly wounded.
