Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it" (1 Cor. 12:27). What does the doctrine of Christ's union with His saints have to do with the doctrines of grace? As it turns out, everything! Christians can only experience joy in their salvation when they understand that their salvation permanently unites them to Christ in a spiritual union. The five points of Calvinism are good news precisely because they make the Christian's union with Christ a reality. In Union with Christ, Jacob Tanner writes an accessible book for laypeople and pastors alike, establishing the connection between the sweet joys of Christian assurance in the doctrines of grace. Readers will go away from this book enjoying an even sweeter assurance of being united to Christ as members of His Body.

Known primarily for his allegorical work, The Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan was also a preacher, a gifted theologian and interpreter of Scripture. Academically, he was not a learned man, but when it came to practical and experiential mastery of the Scriptures and their theology, he was as gifted as anyone. His writings have a beauty and practicality not often found. He teaches that the greater the Christian's understanding of truth, the stronger their own passion for Jesus will be, and the greater their worship and doxology will become. Jacob Tanner's enlightening biography traces Bunyan's life from his humble beginnings to his calling home to the Celestial City. From his debaucherous youth to glimpses of grace and eventual calling to ministry. There are lessons here for any twenty-first century Christian. He can teach men to be mature, fathers to be loving, husbands to be faithful, pastors to be tender, saints to suffer well, Christians to be steadfast. One of his greatest lessons to modern Christians is how to live faithfully for Christ in a world that is antagonistic to God.
