Setting Our Affections upon Glory: Nine Sermons on the Gospel and the Church

REVIEW

Setting Our Affections upon Glory: Nine Sermons on the Gospel and the Church by Martyn Lloyd Jones is a wonderful book. Chapter three struck me as incredibly à propos for our day. Many people either try to water down the church to the culture to make it palatable or they think it best to do away with the church. The Doctor deals with this and more. I highly recommend this book for everyone.

FAVORITE QUOTES

My friend, you cannot be a Christian, you cannot be a member of the Christian church unless you know something about the conviction of sin. (p.53)

There is only one hope for this world, and that is the church and her message. (p. 58)
