The Pursuit of Holiness - by Jerry Bridges (Paperback)

About the Book

How do we live holy lives? Learn what holiness is and how to say "no" to the things that hinder it.

Book Synopsis

This new edition replaces both The Pursuit of Holiness (ISBN 9781576839324) and the study guide (ISBN 9781576839881) by combining both resources into one volume! "Be holy, for I am holy," commands God. But holiness is something that is often missed in the Christian's daily life. According to Navigator author Jerry Bridges, that's because we're not exactly sure what our part in holiness is. In The Pursuit of Holiness, he helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do-and what we should take responsibility for ourselves. As you deepen your relationship with God, learn more about His character, and understand the Holy Spirit's role in holiness, your spiritual growth will mature. The included study guide contains 12 lessons.

From the Back Cover

DISCOVER YOUR HOLY CALLING. The Bible exhorts us to pursue a life of holiness. But what does that look like in everyday life? We struggle with our sinful nature within and with a morally polluted world around us. How do we live holy lives? In this companion study guide to The Pursuit of Holiness, you can discover the Bible's guidelines for holy living. This guide includes 12 lessons in which you will carefully look at many of the same Scripture passages Jerry Bridges studied to glean the principles he presents in The Pursuit of Holiness.
