Majoring in the Major Theme: The Gospel

Jerry Bridges has done it again! When R.C. Sproul gave his commendation of this book (from the back cover) he says, "The Christian church benefits each time Jerry Bridges takes up his pen to author a book. The Gospel for Real Life is no exception..."

So, what's so amazing you might ask? The man has lived under the liberating power of the gospel for decades. He has thought long and hard about the implications and effects of the gospel. He cherishes it and when he writes about the gospel, you feel the love he has for his Savior.

This book is not a practical how-to book on applying the gospel as you might assume from the title. It actually aims to explore the many different contours of the gospel. Then, I think the premise Bridges is operating under is; when we rightly understand what Christ has accomplished for us it changes our 'real lives.' It would serve new Christians well to sit down with this book and get a firm foundation of what Christ has done. And, it would benefit any veteran Christ follower to be refreshed once again by the gospel of grace... the old good news never gets old!
