It cohesively explains the meanings of confession in the Bible, the bond of repentance and confession, providing biblical evidence for the reality of the sacrament. It explores confession and fatherhood, confession and humility, practically answering how do I confess?. It outlines confession and spiritual medicine, the sacrament of confession and other holy sacraments, and its impact on confession and spiritual growth to achieve confession and the new life. Concluding, repentance requires exposing sin and crushing pride, which is completed in confession.
