See for yourself how the gospel is more than eternal salvation--it sets you free from sin's defeat and empowers you to experience God's abundant life.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the door to eternal life, but what difference does it make once we're inside God's kingdom? Jerry Bridges says the gospel is the very lifeblood of our walk with God. It is the key to our salvation, for sure, but it is also the power for our daily progress in holiness. The Gospel for Real Life will help you:

* Experience freedom from the grip of sin and know the joy of pursuing holiness

* Revel in God's acceptance of you and participate in His grace as a daily reality

* Expose the subtle acids of legalism in your life and enjoy the liberty of the cross

* Discover how to "preach the gospel to yourself daily" and so partake of its continuous transforming power

* Carry the true fullness of the gospel to a desperately needy world around you

This new paperback edition includes a study guide to help you experience every day "the unsearchable riches of Christ" that are available to us in the gospel
