Transforming Grace

This book focuses on the gospel and teaches salvation by grace. I buy a lot of the older edition of this book, and it almost always comes in good condition.

I think the author, Jerry Bridges, does a remarkable job in impressing upon the believer the beauty and incredulity of God's amazing grace. The reader comes away with a clear understanding and greater appreciation for this gift from God that leads to a deeper trust in the Lover of our soul. This book is a delight to do as a Bible Study, and in my opinion, the most thorough book on grace that I've ever come across.

I never understood God's grace and what it meant until I read "Transforming grace". I have spent years trying to earn what God had already given to me freely- eternal salvation. I no longer see God as a task master ready to step on me for the smallest infraction. I now see him as the God who loved me even when I was at emnity with him. Thats grace! I see God as a holy,gracious,generous,loving, and good God. If you've been feeling like the life of the believer is more of a burden than a blessing, then you need to read this book. I promise that you won't feel like that after reading this book. You will be walking once and for all in the light of God's wonderful grace.I really recommend this book. It's an easy read, and Jerry Bridges keeps it real and biblical.

Have you ever struggled with wanting to serve and please God, but giving up, because you just couldn't do it? I have. I wanted to live a life that was pleasing to God, but every time I tried, I messed up big-time. I finally just gave up, resigned myself to the fact that I just couldn't do it, so why try? I stopped going to church, because "I didn't want to be a hypocrite". I started spending time with my friends every weekend at the local pub. I lived with men I wasn't married to, all the while lying to my family about it. Then, it became an every night deal. All the while I knew I shouldn't be there and I shouldn't be living this way. But God never let me go. His Holy Spirit was always there "nagging" at me to leave that lifestyle and live like a child of God should. Gradually He brought people into my life who showed and taught me what my salvation was really all about. I grew ever so slowly, but I did grow. After several years of very slow, but constant growth in biblical understanding, I was introduced to several books by Jerry Bridges. They were all very good, and I learned very much through them. But, when I read TRANSFORMING GRACE, my life truly changed! You need to read this book! You WON'T regret it!!!!! I thank God for sending Mr. Bridges to explain it all to me so clearly and so biblically! And, Mr. Bridges, I thank YOU for answering His call and allowing him to use you in a mighty way in my life and in the lives of countless others!
