Critic reviews

"We know we need grace. Without it we'd never come to Christ in the first place. But being a Christian is more than just coming to Christ. It's about growing and becoming more like Jesus. It's about pursing holiness. The pursuit of holiness is hard work, and that's were we turn from grace to discipline. Grace is every bit as important for growing as a Christian as it is for becoming a Christian in the first place. Grace is at the heart of the gospel, and without a clear understanding of the gospel and grace we can easily slip into a performance based lifestyle that bears little resemblance to what the gospel has to offer us. The Discipline Of Grace offers a clear and thorough explanation of the gospel and what it means to the believer, and how the same grace that brings us to faith in Christ also disciplines us in Christ, and how we learn to discipline ourselves in the areas of commitment, convictions, choices, watchfulness, and adversity. The Discipline of Grace is highly recommended reading for anyone struggling to overcome the world in Christ." ( Midwest Book Review)

Never disappointed

I am never disappointed in any book authored by Jerry Bridges. His books are always insightful. I felt sad hearing he past away this past March. I do know he is enjoying being in the presence of our beautiful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Wonderful!

If you like a practical book on Christian living that is solidelly based in scripture, and a little heavy on theology and doctrine, then this book is for you! I personally loved this book. It is a wonderful resource for discipleship.

very encouraging read

I enjoyed Mr. Bridges transparency and clarity of thought. He definitely kept pointing to Jesus and the forgiveness we find in him while he encouraged godly living.
