“The Christian Life by Sinclair Ferguson was a tremendous help to me in my own personal walk with God but then also to be able to articulate some of those basic elements of Christian doctrine. He’s so masterful in distilling the essence of the doctrine and pastoral in his approach.” ––Alistair Begg
