Tolle Lege: The Bookends of the Christian Life

Readability: 1

Length: 154 pgs

Author: Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevington

The Bookends of the Christian Life is a short little book for the whole of life.  John Wesly once wrote

He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.

This is the message of this gospel saturated book.  In Christ my sins are done with, I am cleansed from them and stand clothed in His righteousness.  But not only am I cleansed, the Holy Spirit now indwells me to break the power of the sin that Jesus cancelled.  Don’t look here for any amazing originality.  Come here to be reminded about the very core of living the Christian life.  Here the most vital of doctrines are applied to your everyday living.

    1. Yea, me too Bethany. My bookshelves are full of “want-to-read” and Josh is responsible for a good deal of those.
