A friend at my church says that every Christian should read this book at least once.  |

I don't have time to make a lengthy comment about the above book, but I did read the part about how one is to approach the book. I found it edifying to say the least. Yes, it is a book that deserves a reading. Perhaps it's time to give Lloyd-Jones a rest, but only after I finish his treatment of Romans.
