Jerry Bridges' life is a remarkable story of God's providence. From -a most unpromising beginning- as a poor kid from the wrong side of the tracks, he joined the Navy, went to college, became an engineer, joined The Navigators as a missionary, and eventually became a best-selling author. In this book, Jerry illustrates through his story--and then summarizes for the reader--seven key -spiritual lessons- that God has taught him through his 83 years. These lessons can be passed on to any believer.
