> The Way to God and How to Find It by D. L. Moody

## Answer

The Way to God and How to Find It by D. L. Moody develops True Repentance across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

The book clarifies that repentance is not merely feeling sorry, fasting, or breaking one sin, but a complete turning around—a change of mind and direction away from sin toward God.

Moody defines repentance as a complete change of mind and direction, not merely fear, feeling, or remorse. It involves turning from all sin and producing fruit.

Emphasizes the need to acknowledge iniquity and turn back to God as the first step of restoration.
