Self-Denial

Self-Denial Isaac Ambrose (1604–1664) Self-denial is a cardinal feature of the true disciple of Jesus Christ. This stands in stark contrast to the world, which tends heavily toward narcissism and constant, all-encompassing self-indulgence. The following treatise illustrates balanced and biblical teaching on self-denial, walking the middle road between sinful self-gratification and unhealthy (and usually, unnecessary) asceticism. Isaac Ambrose was an English Puritan pastor who advanced the Presbyterian cause in strongly pro-Catholic Lancashire. His most popular works are Looking Unto Jesus and The Christian Warrior. The latter title is available in a new, updated edition through Digital Puritan Press.
