The Discipline of Grace
by Jerry Bridges
The correction to a works-driven reading of his earlier book: preach the gospel to yourself every day, and let grace drive discipline rather than guilt. Bridges's best book and a balance of the two halves.

Try instead: Respectable Sins →
Three things you will actually use

- Preach the gospel to yourself daily.
- Grace fuels discipline.
