A Perfect Redeemer

What is more soul satisfying than contemplating our interest in Christ?

In this brief but compelling book, William Perkins offers an insightful treatment of what it means to rest in Christ’s sole sufficiency. He does this by carefully explaining what it means to know Christ crucified and the inestimable advantage we gain from His being our redeemer. This message tears down all self-righteousness and extols the riches of God’s grace in Jesus, urging us to rest in “a perfect Christ, a perfect Redeemer!” As you read, may your faith be strengthened, your hope renewed, and your love enflamed.

Endorsements

“William Perkins was at his best when he reflected on Christ and His work from his pulpit and with his pen. Stephen Yuille has made that reflection eminently accessible in this thoughtfully organized and readable little volume. Yuille has spent years mastering the art of presenting Puritan doctrine in digestible ways through his preaching ministry. Here we find that mastery on full display.”
