Jerry Bridges is a best-selling author whose most popular book, The Pursuit of Holiness, has sold over one million copies. The Discipline of Grace is another wonderful book which offers a clear and thorough explanation of what it means to be a believer.
I was intrigued by the title and curious how Jerry Bridges would combine grace with discipline because, at first, they do seem like contradictory concepts. In this book Jerry Bridges explores how the same grace that brings us to faith in Christ also disciplines us in Christ. Bridges shares the secret about resting in Christ while pursuing a life of holiness as he explains what are God’s role and our role in spiritual formation.
In learning more about grace, the reader will also learn about God's character, His forgiveness, and the Holy Spirit. Bridges states that grace and holiness are linked; the same grace that leads believers to Christ also forms us spiritually in the areas of commitment, conviction, choices, watchfulness, and adversity.
If you've wondered what about the difference between your role and God's role in growing in Christ, this book is for you. The Discipline of Grace is a very thorough explanation of grace and what it means to grow in grace. I warmly recommend the book for anyone who wants to deepen his or her walk in God’s grace.
The Study guide was a positive surprise: 143 pages! Each session gives an excerpt of the book and questions for personal study and group discussion. A wonderful resource for a study group!

My husband and I used this as a starter text for our at home bible study. We loved the simple caring way that the Word was presented in every lesson.Bridges has truly accomplished the goal of helping individuals to receive and know the grace of God.We are continually "preaching the gospel to ourselves". This book is perfect for small group bible study sessions.

Jerry Bridges does an excellent job of explaining the how the discipline of holiness in our lives and God's grace go hand in hand; and how impossible it is to attain the standard with out our anchor being in God's grace. This is a very freeing look at our lives in Christ, and a must read for anyone who has had to deal with legalism in their own lives.

I have purchased this book as a gift for many of my friends and family. Why? Because it sets forth, in clarity and simplicity, the most important tenants of our faith. Even the most mature Christian will benefit from this book. It defines Grace and sets out to remind all people who claim to depend on Christ for salvation that they will find full sufficiency in the Gospel.
