This book has been utterly foundational for all of us at Thoughts on the Way, and I would highly encourage anyone who has not read it to check it out. For more information, see the product pages linked to above, as well as THIS review from Nathan Pitchford at Monergism.com, and THIS one from Mason.
Yesterday, I asked Charles if he could summarize the main burdens of the book in two sentences. Here was his reply:
1. The Christian has a permanent standing of acceptance and favor with God, not because of his performance, but because of the righteousness of Another.
2. Growth in the Christian life is not by striving to become someone you're not, but by believing the reality of what God has already made you to be in the miracle of regeneration.
That's as good of a summary of the book as you're going to get!
