Jerry Bridges is one of my favorite authors.  He is so clear.  He is so personable.  He is Christ-centered and gospel-centered in everything that he writes.

 

I find today that many Christians do not understand how the gospel relates to every day living.  The gospel saves us.  We all know that.  But, what does the gospel have to do with my life today?  Bridges helps us with that. 

 

The book will help you to enjoy the gospel.  We sometimes skip over many of the incredible doctrines related to salvation.  We don't savor the truths.  We don't LOVE the truths.  Our study of salvation is merely academic.  After each chapter of Bridges' book, you will want to have your own little celebration with God.  You will want to set the book down, and pray to your great Savior.

 

As I said before, one of Bridges' strengths is his clarity.  This is especially important when it comes to the gospel.  Can you explain the gospel clearly...from the text of Scripture?  Bridges will help the truths to be clear in your mind so that you are better equipped to share them with others.

 

Do you find yourself having a 'ho-hum' attitude about your salvation?  A 'take it or leave it' attitude?  Do you yawn a lot when you read what the Bible says about justification or adoption?  Those truths are amazing!  Those truths are what should motivate you to live a life of worship to God. 

 

With Bridges' you will celebrate your life with Christ.  Read it and reap!!
