Bunyan’s answer may surprise us – \u003cem\u003ea broken and contrite heart\u003c\/em\u003e. This is the ‘acceptable sacrifice’ of the title.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this moving exposition of Psalm 51:17, the last work which he prepared for the press, Bunyan shows from Scripture why a broken heart is so acceptable to God. He characterizes the unbroken heart of man, showing why it must be made contrite, and explains the nature of the change which is involved. He also guides the reader in discerning whether this change has taken place, and shows how the heart, once broken, can be kept tender.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExtract from Preface to First Edition\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Text Explained\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Broken Heart Is Truly Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Unbroken Heart, and How It Is Made Contrite\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSigns of a Broken Heart\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy the Heart Must Be Broken\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy God So Esteems a Broken Heart\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKeeping the Heart Tender\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses of the Doctrine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSome Objections Considered\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53009743053111,"sku":"ban1789812865619","price":5.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/8910\/4695\/files\/the-acceptable-sacrifice_1.jpg?v=1789812871","url":"https:\/\/effortlesschicclad.shop\/products\/the-acceptable-sacrifice","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
