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)

Encouraging and challenging

This book helps Christians take their faith to the practical level. What is it to be a follower of Christ day by ordinary day? This book helps you answer that question and encourages you with the application of the gospel.

Excellent read!!!

Excellent read for the open hearted but serious minded Christian at whatever stage of life, physically and spiritually!

Too Difficult To Navigate

What disappointed you about The Discipline of Grace?

It isn't separated into chapters.

How could the performance have been better?

If it were really separated into 18 chapters.

Any additional comments?

This book has 18 Chapters but the recording is separated into only 6 chapters. And these chapter divisions are sometimes right in the middle of a sentence. How is one supposed to make any sense out of that? Bookmarks? Well what if I'm not able to place a bookmark because I'm listening while not close to my iPad?

Content is great, narrator is poor.

Great book, especially enjoy and benefit from the first 3 chapters. Narrator is monotone and dull. Don't think I'll be able to finish listening.

This book is solid GOLD

there's so much detail to dive into it's hard to explain it in a summary

Important information!

it enhanced my understanding of Grace in relation to discpline. No more confusion of what serious Christian's are expected to do

great!

Such a great one! A fantastic reminder of God's truth- especially when we aren't perfect!

Excellent work

This work by Dr. Bridges should be enlightening to many Christians, and great encouragement to all of God's reborn children

Again & Again

I’ve throughly enjoyed listening to this book. I’m on my 3rd time around. Listening has brought the ideas alive by allowing me to process the concepts without focusing on words alone. I bought the book as well & have been highlighting the key passages that contain profound insights

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.

Rich content, voice a bit grating

Wonderful overviewof the pursuit of holiness. Bridges outlines the need for dependence and discipline as means of growing in grace.

Sanctification

This book has been the single most influencing book on my understanding and response to my responsibility to sanctification and dependance on God. My opening statement here seems quite contradictory but to understand the glory and grace that Jerry Bridges explains to us by revelation of scripture you must listen or read it for yourself.
