A Perfect Redeemer
(Puritan Treasures for Today)
Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. —Philippians 3:8
Our sinful hearts seek satisfaction in the things of this world. But true satisfaction is not found in things but in a person: Jesus Christ.
In this compelling book, William Perkins explains how to find true satisfaction: by resting in Christ’s sufficiency. With his trademark precision, Perkins reminds us of Christ's infinite worth as our only redeemer in twenty-seven short chapters. This message tears down all illusions of self-sufficiency, directing us to rest the riches of God’s grace in Jesus!
