Dr. Gibson’s Latest Book

The Power of Repentance:
How God Changes Lives

What is repentance? What does repentance look like?  How do I live a life of repentance? The Power of Repentance addresses these questions, giving clear and insightful instruction regarding God’s gift of repentance and its employment in a life that turns from the darkness of sin and self into the light of life in Christ.

“It is not the transformative behavior that is repentance,
rather it is the evidence of it.
Repentance is more than a change of external behavior,
but it is certainly not less.”

“…[Here] we have a clear definition, explanation, illustration, and application of the doctrine of repentance in an easy-to-understand format.”

Donald S, Whitney,
professor of biblical spirituality and associate dean,
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Gibson’s writing style is such that this work will well serve both the new believer and the veteran pastor. From here on, I will not preach on repentance without consulting this important work.”

Brian Payne, senior pastor, Lakeview Baptist Church

“Barry Gibson meticulously defines, convincingly illustrates, scripturally supports, and practically applies what it means to repent. Read this book!”

Ed Moore, pastor, North Shore Baptist Church
