    <body><![CDATA[After finally completing this book, I still believe that it is a must read for any Christian. For non-Christians there is still much to be harvested from reading it, but it will require you to understand the core of the Christian Faith, which is the gospel. This is not a &quot;quick&quot; read book ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37506537">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A good read in order to better understand that God's grace has nothing to do with what I have done.  So what I do, whether good or bad, has nothing to do with my standing before him.  In Christ, God sees me fully justified and covered by the blood.  I can now respond in the spiritual disciplines in ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19544244">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[For the RUF internship. I really benefited from this book's discussion of what the New Testament really teaches about grace, and what it means to live faithfully as people who believe that Christ has delivered us from the guilt and penalty of sin yet will continue to struggle with the reality and pr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11194966">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I've actually read this book twice now. It is a fairly decent study on sanctification. Some of the content is strong (particularly the chapters on Preaching the Gospel to yourself) and Bridges also has some nice illustrations. I didn't care much for the second half of the book, though it makes for a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4822277">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wonderful book explaining God's part and our part in holiness.  Helps with an understanding of how faith and works are related so that we can understand that our works are rooted in and grow out of GOD'S work on our behalf in Christ.  Worth rereading when I get into a works mentality!]]></body>
