5.0 out of 5 stars What Would Jesus Do?, November 22, 2000

By 

Laura N Kanov (Gallatin, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pleasing God (Paperback)

As a new Christian I hunger to know God, to know His will for me, and to understand my place in this world. RC provides practical guidance for that purpose. In Pleasing God, as in all his books, I find his logical, analytical and humorous approach to theology completely engaging. Each chapter centers around an issue we must face, such as the battle with the flesh, then describes real world examples and addresses the appropriate Christian response through scripture passages and our Lord's perfect example. I highly recommend this along w/Sproul's other treasures, such as Almighty Over All, The Holiness of God, and Chosen by God.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Resource for Discipleship, July 16, 2007

This review is from: Pleasing God (Paperback)

In our days where evangelical churches emphasize quick decisions, mechanical 'the sinner's prayer', numbers, fun and programs without earnest efforts in discipleship, I consider Sproul's "Pleasing God" one of my highly recommended materials (another one is J.C Ryle's "Holiness") for new Christians to grow in grace in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. The book contains basic doctrines of sin, justification, atonement, sanctification, assurance and exhortation to persevere to the end. Even for mature Christians, there is nothing wrong to go back to the basics. As always, Prof. Sproul, whose writing style tends to resemble that of C.S. Lewis', mixes doctrines, applications and examples, some of which are taken from his own testimonies and experiences.

5.0 out of 5 stars good basics, September 9, 2010

This review is from: Pleasing God (Paperback)

I thought this was really well written and clear on the basics.There are alot of books out on foundational knowledge of being a Christian and what that means. I thought this was very clear , well written and touched on some basic foundational problems we all encounter. I am very glad I bought and read it.I know Mr. Sproul has a Calvinist background which I do not, so I was curious if I would agree with all he wrote.I found I did. The truth of Gods knows no boundaries !
