This looks like a helpful book.

Holiness Day by Day is a new devotional book that consists of excerpts from the writings of Jerry Bridges. This could be a great resource for learning to preach the gospel to ourselves every day.

Here is a Bridges' quote I found recently:
"Jesus did not die just to give us peace and a purpose in life; He died to save us from the wrath of God. He died to reconcile us to a holy God who was alienated from us because of our sin. He died to ransom us from the penalty of sin – the punishment of everlasting destruction, shut out from the presence of the Lord. He died that we, the just objects of God’s wrath, should become, by His grace, heirs of God and co-heirs with Him."
