Pleasing God

How can imperfect man hope to please a perfect God?

For some people this question has no importance. They no longer find meaning in words like righteousness, and sanctification.

But R C Sproul believes these words are still important for Christians. In this penetrating study of sanctification, Dr. Sproul examines the obstacles to pleasing God---the world, the flesh, and the devil---and how Christians can overcome these through dependence on the holy God. He looks realistically at how God's people so often compromise with the world and its standards. He invites the reader to go beyond compromise to a Christ-centered life.

The message of PLEASING GOD is, at root, one of hope. The reader may be pained at Dr. Sproul's honest look at how such key sins as pride, slothfulness, and dishonesty permeate the Christian life. But he will also find hope and encouragement as he unfolds the Bible's message of continuing growth in holiness.

This is a book of theology, but it is theology at its best---practical, wise, and written with a view toward growing closer to God.
