Delighting in the Law of the Lord - by Jerram Barrs (Paperback)

About the Book

Sometimes the Bible's rules can appear to be outdated and overbearing. In this eye-opening book, Barrs highlights the wisdom and beauty of God's perfect law, demonstrating its crucial importance for living healthy and fulfilling lives.

Book Synopsis

God's people have neglected God's law.

We are steeped in a culture in which people hate being told how to live and idolize uninhibited "freedom." What's more, many Christians seem to think the law only leads to legalism and therefore doesn't have a role to play in the Christian life. Yet, regardless of what society or even fellow believers say, we need guidance to truly honor God in everything we think, say, and do.

Jerram Barrs helps us recognize and articulate the immense importance of God's commands for godly living as he clears away unbiblical ideas that have crept into our thinking. Looking to the teachings of Jesus, this book will lead you to delight in the eternal beauty and life-changing significance of God's perfect law.
