Promotional "Jerram Barrs has given us a gripping account of how Gods law, understood through the grace released in Jesus Christ, is the best guide we could find. Barrs shows us the biblical path to a sane and balanced worldview, avoiding the pitfalls of utopian theocracy, libertarian naivete, and cultural indifference. More than a guide, this book is an invitation to see God as our only comfort in life and in death. Delighting in the Law of the Lord is simply delightful!" -William Edgar, Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary "We live in morally confusing times-confusing for the culture, confusing for the church. Weve lost the compass, and, truth be told, when it comes to personal or societal issues, most of us Christians simply dont think of the law of God as providing much guidance. Think again! says Jerram Barrs. In his winsome across-the-kitchen-table style, Barrs explains why we need to retrieve afresh one of Gods greatest gifts. Churches will love this resource!" -Nicholas Perrin, Dean, Wheaton College Graduate School "Jerram expounds the true nature and purpose of Gods law from the Psalms, which extol Gods law in light of the Bible story of creation and redemption, and he draws primarily on the Gospels for stories to illustrate how this perspective on Gods law works out in practice. All will find this book challenging and helpful, but I recommend it especially to those engaged in communication of the truth that is in Jesus, particularly preachers, Bible study groups, parents, and Christian schools." -David Clyde Jones, Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology and Ethics, Covenant Theological Seminary; author, Biblical Christian Ethics "Jerram Barrs gently but decisively charts a course that falls into neither the ditch of meaningless moral relativism, on the one side, nor the choking grip of Christian legalism, on the other. He convincingly shows the biblical importance of the law as an essential guide to Christian discipleship, service, and happiness, both personally and within the larger realities of the church and society. This catechesis of the way of the Lord should be in every ministry toolbox and is an absolute must-read by every Christian who wants to find greater integrity of life and deeper relationship with Christ, our fellow human beings, and Gods good creation." -Michael Williams, Professor of Systematic Theology, Covenant Theological Seminary Long Description Gods peoplehave neglected Gods law. We are steeped in a culture in which people hate being told how to live and idolize uninhibited "freedom." Whats more, many Christians seem to think the law onlyleads to legalism and therefore doesnt have a role to play in the Christian life. Yet, regardless of what society or even fellow believers say, we needguidance to truly honor God in everything we think, say, and do. Jerram Barrs helps us recognize and articulate the immense importance of Gods 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 Gods perfect law.
