The Christian life begins and ends with faith.
Bob Wilkin disagreed with that statement for many years. As a member of a works-oriented religious cult, Bob spent most of his boyhood years working for the perfection that he thought was needed to please God and somehow gain eternal life.
It was not until college that he discovered the grace of God through a campus ministry and was overwhelmed by the simple truth of God's promise, "He who believes in Me has everlasting life." He understood for the first time that no one can become a Christian or please God in daily life except by faith.
Bob accepted the gift of salvation by placing his faith in Jesus Christ, and experienced a jailbreak from the bondage of works-religion. He knew he must devote his life to telling others about the wonderful grace of God. This book is a part of that devotion.
It is Bob's desire that reading Confident in Christ: Living by Faith Really Works will kindle the passion, love, and gratitude in you that comes from being deeply touched by the wonderful grace of God.

Exegetical Work from a FG View:

Dr. Wilkin has done a lot of good writing this book that engages sixteen difficult passages from the scripure in relation to salvation and an individual's assurance of it. The book is well-integrated with good analogies and examples as introductions to each chapter. Dr. Wilkin also discusses much of his own personal background within an extreme-Arminian viewpoint.
I think the book is well organized, engages readers in a very practical way, and gives clarity to what the 'gospel' message and response is.... more info

Be Aware of Presuppositions:

Wilkin is deeply committed to the Free Grace position that many consider Easy Believism. His presuppositions and prior doctrinal understanding often color many of his interpretations.
Here are a few that once they are embraced logically leads one to the Free Grace position that Wilkin seeks to defend and promote through this book.
1) Once you accept his definition of saving faith as just being convinced and not really being a choice you are led down a road to disconnecting life change and... more info

Amazing:

I've never understood much about the Bible at all. It all seemed like a riddle to me. Parts of It still alude me but, it doesn't keep me awake at night anymore because i KNOW i have eternal life now. This is due in large part to Dr. Wilkin and his various works, including this book. It is laid out in plain english but still in depth enough to answer every question i had. Dr. Wilkin is a rock star in my estimation and this book is Zeppelin 4.
and as for the "spotlight review" guy, i really, really don't... more info

Excellent, challenging, and worth it.:

Wilkin points to Scripture's instructions as to the most important element in a disciple's jouney: the assurance of one's salvation. In an easy-to-read style, he shares John's excitement for making sure people understand the freeness of eternal life (John 20:31). This is one book I buy for others on a regular basis.
