Endorsements

"Jerry Bridges loves the gospel and wants us to love it too, knowing that as the grace of God captures our hearts, it transforms our lives. As impossible and contradictory as it may seem, grace leads to godliness. I have learned so much of this gospel motivation from Jerry Bridges though the years, and I praise God for this new book that expresses the power of the gospel with such tender and compelling love for Christ." - Dr. Bryan Chapell, president, Covenant Seminary

"Jerry Bridges encourages God's people because he writes as one who is constantly discovering and delighting in the deep riches of the gospel. In this book, we hear of not just God's holiness but also His majestic mercy and the transforming power of His grace. Here, in accessible presence of the Spirit, and the real call of the believer to respond not in fear but in freedom." - Dr. Kelly M. Kapic, professor of theological studies, Covenant College
