Bridges covers topics such as: what is holiness? why is it important? how can we be obedient? What does faith have to do with holiness? how can we be holy in an unholy world?
The biggest takeaway I had from this book was the importance of bodily discipline and how it reflects on your spiritual state. "As we become soft and lazy in our bodies, we tend to become soft and lazy spiritually."...more
Fabulous book on the church and government. In our recent Aage we have clung to the idea that "we must do as caesar commands, unless it is sin." ForsyFabulous book on the church and government. In our recent Aage we have clung to the idea that "we must do as caesar commands, unless it is sin." Forsyth very simply lays out the biblical principles of authority, exhorting us to consider the realm of Caesar's authority. My only complaint is that it was aa bit slow in the beginning and the writing showed that this was the first book Forsyth has written. But it seems to get better as you get into it.
"So we are to submit when somebody is exercising legitimate, God-delegated authority, but when someone tells us to submit, we should not automatically assume that they have legitimate authority."...more

There waThis is one of my favorite books I've read this year. Mueller does an amazing job at laying out what the Bible says about biblical womanhood. There was no fluffiness, no beating around the bush, just plain, hard facts. Even though I've heard most of the content taught before, I was convicted in every chapter. I love that he addressed both married women and single women. I was encouraged on a lot of things to work on now before I am married, Lord-willing, someday soon. I highly recommend this for all women to read and also think it would be beneficial for men to read, to know what a godly woman is. ...more

The warnings he brought out about technology were helpful because they were related to your spiritual health as opposed to physical. There are many scientific warnings about technology. But how does it change the way we interact with others? How does it change the way we view others? Does technology aid or halt our obedience to biblical commands?
I would highly recommend this book and will probably come back to it in the future. ...more

After starting it, I quickly realized my error and realized this wasn't the best book for me to be reading at this time (with so many other books waiting for me on the shelf). But let me recommend this to you if you struggle with perfectionism, doing everything right, and expecting everyone else to do things perfect. I will certainly come back to this when the issue arises in my life. ...more

I never really thought of them as the prime passage on humility but Bridges does a wonderful job of proving his case. While this isn't my favorite Jerry Bridges, I will still be returning to this book again!...more

So I didn't love it. However, the book itself is great! There were definitely things I learned and things that were encouraging and convicting. If you need som encouragement to be faithful in sharing the gospel, Spurgeon does a great job at that!...more

The answer is not to focus on yourself more, but to focus on others more. Allie confronts a multitude of problems that stem from this teaching. Although I think she tried to fit too many issues into a short book, I really appreciated all the personal stories that she told in here. ...more
