The True Gain More in Worth Than All the Goods in the World

A compact Elizabethan exposition of Philippians 3:7-8, in which Perkins unfolds the Apostle Paul's astonishing bookkeeping of the soul — counting every worldly privilege, ancestry, and achievement as loss for Christ. With characteristic analytical care he defines what Paul renounced, what he gained, and why the knowledge of Christ Jesus outweighs the whole of earthly wealth. The book confronts both the proud self-righteous and the anxious professor with a single searching question: is Christ your true gain, or is your life's ledger still weighed by the goods of this world?
