The Bookends Of The Christian Life (Paperback)

The “bookends” is a metaphor that Jerry Bridges has developed over the years, and which he and coauthor Bob Bevington flesh out in this popular book, now available in paperback. The two bookends—Christ’s righteousness and the Holy Spirit’s power—are what hold us together, make us acceptable to a holy God, and enable us to change. They also help to answer questions like: How can I overcome persistent guilt? How can I deal with the pressure to measure up? Where can I find the motivation it takes to grow? and How can I be sure God loves me? This little book with a big message gives readers the spiritual framework they need, teaching them to rely on the God-given “bookends” necessary for enjoying a sturdy life in Christ.
