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.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond grace; your best days never so good you are beyond needing it.
  2. Preach the gospel to yourself daily.
  3. Grace fuels discipline.

Do this first

Read the chapter on preaching the gospel to yourself.
