The Perfect Christian How Sinners Like Us Can Be More Like Jesus

by Tony Evans

Can a Christian really be perfect this side of Heaven? Of course not, but God calls us to be perfect. And against the standards of God's perfections, our imperfections are glaring-yet he does not reduce his standards or lower his expectations. What's a believer to do? In The Perfect Christian nationally acclaimed speaker and teacher Dr. Tony Evans calls believers back to God's demand for perfection. Evans suggests that the answer lies within the "The God who burdens us with the demand also provides the ability, strength, direction, and support we need to grow into greater conformity with His character." With powerful biblical teaching, heart-grabbing insights, and unforgettable anecdotes, Evans challenges you to "March in a new direction in keeping with the perfect demands of our loving heavenly Father." The end-of-the-chapter "Test your Perfection IQ" questions invite you to consider how close to perfection you are now and how you can grow from there.

Reviews

[Jason Grubbs · Rating 5 out of 5]

Explains the book of James in a very practical way. Great illustrations.

Every Christian should read this book to understand that true salvation is evidenced by our life. We do not work to be saved, but because we have been saved. This controversial book of Scripture is easily understood by the author's unfolding of it. Great doctrine and wonderful illustrations make it a must read for any serious Bible student.
