CONTRITION Proposing a Revised Perspective

By Charles O. White

This book suggests that the concept of contrition, well-known in most Christian circles as well as among psychiatrists, actually has a much broader definition than is generally attributed to it. We usually consider it a brokenness caused by the guilt of sin, whereas the Bible describes it as a state of mind to be had at all times, a continual consciousness of the awesome presence of God and of our own unworthiness before him, even when sin is not present. The book demonstrates that this "broken spirit" is not a reason for discouragement but rather for joy, since maintaining this state of mind honors and pleases God, who then honors and uplifts the contrite in heart.
