*John Ortberg, senior pastor of Menlo Church and author of All the
Places to Go*
Bryan Loritts is one of the most thoughtful and biblical leaders I
know. In Saving the Saved, he cuts to the heart of what the gospel
is all about, offering good news not just to sinners but to the
self-righteous as well. A freeing and engaging book.
*Jon Tyson, founding pastor of Trinity Grace Church, New York
City*
If you’re a perfectionist and workaholic like me and have struggled
to be embraced by grace, this is the book for you. Saving the Saved
invites us to move beyond our addiction to self-reliance and swim
anew in the ocean of God’s unmerited love. Bryan Loritts reminds us
there is freedom from a salvation-economy of meritocracy into the
marvelous gospel of grace.
*Rev. Dr. Gabriel Salguero, president of the National Latino
Evangelical Coalition*
If you’re looking for a commentary on Matthew’s gospel that
exegetically deep dives into the theological abyss of the former
tax collector’s version of the life of the Man whose call led him
to leave his business profession, put this book down. If you’re
looking for an investigative journey into the practicality and
profundity of the power of pure, performance-less love, welcome to
the ride!
*Kenneth C. Ulmer, DMin, PhD, pastor-teacher of Faithful Central
Bible Church, Los Angeles*
If your faith feels more like duty than joy---and no matter how
much you do for God, it never seems to be enough---then this book
is for you. In a fresh, relevant, and authentic style, Bryan
Loritts helps those of us who are driven, performance-oriented
Christians to experience the rest, freedom, and love God longs for
us to share. I wish I had read this thirty years ago.
*Chip Ingram, teaching pastor of Living on the Edge and author of
True Spirituality*
Meritocracy has crept its way into our culture, our churches, and
if I’m honest, at times into my own life and ministry. I’m so glad
my friend Bryan Loritts has given you and me a biblically rooted
escape from our never-ending quest to equate who we are with what
we do. I need to keep rereading this book.
*Kara Powell, PhD, executive director of the Fuller Youth Institute
and coauthor of Growing Young*
Relatable. Fresh. Freeing. Saving the Saved is a brilliant book
that reminds us of the truth that we are in need of a Savior, not a
system. If you have ever felt like you can’t be good enough or
can’t check off enough boxes, then you need to read this book. The
gospel doesn’t restrict us; it frees us!
*Louie Giglio, pastor of Passion City Church, founder of Passion
Conferences, and author of The Comeback*
Saving the Saved isn’t so much a book as a window giving a direct
view into the heart of the gospel. On page after page, Bryan
Loritts shows us that on our best day we all need the same thing:
grace! He paints a brilliant picture of what it means to trust God
with our failures and our successes. Saving the Saved is an
absolute must-read!
*Albert Tate, founder and lead pastor of Fellowship Monrovia
(California)*
The wonderful and often forgotten good news for Christians is that
Jesus’ last words on the cross, “It is finished,” are also the
first words spoken over us as we begin our lives with Him.
Everything we need in order to secure God’s approval, Jesus has
secured for us through his life, death, burial, and resurrection.
When our hearts and imaginations are attuned with these realities,
we gain the power to serve God, knowing we are already loved,
versus slaving out of fear that we might not be loved. In this
masterfully compelling, deeply pastoral, and sorely needed book,
Bryan Loritts leads us toward a freedom that, in Jesus, is already
ours.
*Scott Sauls, senior pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in
Nashville, Tennessee, and author of Jesus Outside the Lines and
Befriend*
