A Brief Book Notice from Books At a Glance
by Fred G. Zaspel
I want to read everything Sinclair Ferguson writes. He writes always with both depth and warmth, as his latest book illustrates. Expanding on Paul’s exhortation in Philippians 1:27, “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ,” Worthy is rich with expositional insight and heart-drawing implications. You’ll enjoy the reading, and you’ll be stirred. And when you’re done, you’ll be disappointed only that you can’t read more.
Endorsement by Joel Beeke
“God delights to turn things upside down. Most think a ‘worthy’ person must be someone great. Sinclair Ferguson shows that the people ‘worthy of the gospel’ are those humbled by their sins, transformed by Christ’s cross, and obsessed with knowing the Lord. Nothing less is fitting for the gospel. Highly recommended!”
