God Took Me by the Hand A Story of God's Unusual Providence

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.

The resounding theme of this book is Providence. Jerry Bridges, now an 80 year old man, records the invisible hand of God in his own life from his unpromising beginning, to his years with the Navigators, and beyond into teaching and writing. There are lots of lessons to be gleaned from this remarkable life; remarkable because of the mighty hand of God who directed it as well as the man who took the time to purposefully sift back through it. A book I would recommended to Christians of all ages. Travis Rodgers
