Gospel for Real Life: Turn to the Liberating Power of the Cross... Every Day
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the door to eternal life, but what difference does it make once we're inside God's kingdom? Jerry Bridges says the gospel is the very lifeblood of our walk with God. Without doubt it is the key to our salvation, but it is also the power for our daily progress in holiness. The Gospel for Real Life will help you:
- Experience freedom from the grip of sin and know the joy of pursuing holiness
- Revel in God's acceptance of you and participate in His grace as a daily reality
- Expose the subtle acids of legalism in your life and enjoy the liberty of the cross
- Discover how to "preach the gospel to yourself daily" and so partake of its continuous transforming power
- Carry the true fullness of the gospel to a desperately needy world around you
This new paperback edition includes a study guide to help you experience every day "the unsearchable riches of Christ" that are available to us in the gospel.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
"Jerry Bridges has the happy knack of hitting the biblical nail right on the headin a way that makes it stick. Like John Bunyan before him, he sees us raking about in the dirt when there is a crown of gold above our heads. Our problem as Chrstians is simply this: we don't believe and understand the gospel very well. It is that simple. It is that radical. Read The Gospel for Real Life carefully. It will do you good!"
Sinclair B. Ferguson
minister of St. George's-Tron Church, Glasgow, Scotland
"In langauge that is clear and concise, The Gospel for Real Life unfolds the whole gospel in a way that not only informs the mind, but also encourages the soul to praise God. The body of Christ is indebted to Jerry Bridges for a much needed presentation of the plan of redemption."
