Item Description...
Twenty-five years ago, this book opened Christians' eyes to a new way of "running the race"--today it still inspires a real and tangible holiness. Now available with an updated new look.
What does holiness look like?
For starters, it doesn't look anything like perfection. And it doesn't necessarily look like victory. Mostly, it consists of effort, prayer, grace, and obedience. "Scripture speaks of both a holiness we have in Christ before God, and a holiness we are to strive after," writes the author. We can ignore neither Christ's role nor our own if we are to successfully pursue holiness. It is as simple as refusing to smudge the truth on a tax return or as complicated as forgiving the person who has most viciously hurt us.
Jerry takes holiness out of the realm of the impossible and brings it into the real world of our daily lives and decisions. Whether you?re continuing your pursuit of holiness or just beginning, the principles and guidelines in The Pursuit of Holiness will challenge you to obey God?s command of holiness.

 | Great, yet easy read. Strongly recommend it! Nov 9, 2008 |
This book was recommended to me by a dear friend...I bought it right away, but just finally got to it - why did I wait? This book is written in a way that makes it a very easy read - but even more important...very easy to apply to day-to-day living.
This book was so "on the money" for me, that I bet I journaled about twenty-five scriptures that were referenced.
I would highly recommend this book if you are interested in seeing how to approach living a more God-infused life. A lot to learn out of such a small paperback! Enjoy! | | | | this book has changed my life Oct 21, 2008 |
| i used to stress about all kinds of things i had no control over and then a customer of mine led me to this book. it has changed my life! it allowed me to be able to place all my troubles on God and to trust him. it's a wonderful read | | | | A terrific primer on sanctification Oct 18, 2008 |
One of my first seminary classes in Romania was on personal spirituality. The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges was required reading.
A few months ago, I attended a Men's Conference hosted by pastor Johnny Hunt. The Pursuit of Holiness was provided free-of-charge to every man in attendance. Reading the book a second time reminded me of why I enjoyed this book so much the first time.
In The Pursuit of Holiness, Bridges exposes the myths that we so easily believe regarding our holiness.
Isn't holiness God's job? Shouldn't I just let go and let God? In short, Bridges says, "No!" The Bible does not speak of holiness this way.
I just can't seem to get "victory" over sin. Bridges' response? God calls us to obedience, not victory.
At least the sins I commit aren't that bad. Bridges says we should stop justifying our sin and realize that little compromises lead to great downfalls.
The Pursuit of Holiness is a helpful book on spiritual growth because it grounds our pursuit of holiness in the holiness of God himself. Do not expect a book of moralistic advice. Bridges' work is grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ and the grace that comes from salvation. Rather than seeing free grace as a roadblock to holy living, he rightfully shows how the gospel is the driving force for a life of holiness.
If you are looking for a book on personal holiness, pick up Jerry Bridges' classic work. He will encourage you, challenge you, comfort you, and then tell you: "God calls us to holiness. Now get on with it!"

This really helped me put into action the principles he discusses. It's well worth your time. | | | Write your own review about Pursuit Of Holiness (25th Anniversary Edition)
