 Life-Changing January 1, 2009
Life changing - why mature Christians still desperately need the Gospel every day. Outside the Bible, only Desiring God has influenced me more.
This Book Kept Me From a Great Deal of Depression May 6, 2008

I liked this book so much that the majority of my senior paper was written on it.
This book is one of the best I've read February 22, 2008
Jerry Bridges presents a challenging way of pursuing holiness. He encourages us to pursue holiness ALL THE TIME within God's grace! The first few chapters he explains the gospel clearly setting up the basis to pursue holiness. It is definetely one of the best books I've read. I have bought 4 copies of this book because I keep giving it away to friends!
A Call To Faithfulness November 4, 2007

Bridges pastorally and beautifully interacts with the mainstream question of grace applied - almost in the same vein as John Murray's 'Redemption: Accompllished and Applied'
But this book is not 'theology proper' - no visible call is made to any Creeds or Confessions. No revealing chapter is dedicated to so great a God. Bridges only explicates the biblical view and provides us with rational motivation to seek to do so.
It serves the layman well, and seeks to direct our focus away from the 'blessings-to-be-had' and 'immediate-gratification' culture and context.
A good book for the avid reader on grace.
'pursue, make every effort, strive, persecute' - all the same Gk root word.
'An understanding of how grace and personal, vigorous effort work together is essential for a lifelong pursuit of holiness.' pg 13
'It is only the joy of hearing the Gospel and being reminded that our sings are forgiven in Christ that will keep the demands of discipleship from becoming drudgery.' pg 21
'The Gospel is meaningful for us only to the extent that we realize and acknowledge that we are still sinful.' pg 22

It's rare that I would call any book life changing, but for me, this was. Although a life-long Christian, I never really understood the concept of grace. Once I understood God's grace to me, it changed me life. I felt released from guilt. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. I first did it as a women's study, but you could certainly do it alone.
