The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges (Book Review)
God calls us to a life of holiness. In His Word, He said: Be holy, for I am holy. Is it really possible to achieve a holy life amidst the sinfulness of man and the depravity of this world? Is holiness only God’s initiative or with man’s effort and responsibility? In the 25th anniversary of The Pursuit of Holiness, author Jerry Bridges continues to teach on the importance of pursuing, not attaining, holiness. It is a lifelong journey of obeying God and at the same time exerting effort and taking responsibility for ourselves. The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges is considered a Christian classic impacting hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life benefiting from this gem of literature. Even John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul, J. I. Packer, and John Piper highly endorsed The Pursuit of Holiness which sold one million copies to date.Jerry Bridges is a world-renowned Christian author and conference speaker. He is the author of about a dozen books including The Gospel For Real Life, Holiness Day By Day (devotional) which has been awarded the 2009 ECPA Christian Book Award, and The Discipline of Grace, similar award in 1995. Since 1955, Jerry Bridges served The Navigators and currently functions as a resource person for the Navigators University Students Ministry in America.
The Pursuit of Holiness is the kind of book that not only adds to your knowledge but more than that, it has the power and anointing to change you from within. You will have a clear distinction between good and evil and will be motivated to choose life over death, right from wrong, obedience over victory, holiness from sinfulness. After laying the foundations for pursuing holiness, Jerry Bridges shares practical insights on how to live a holy life in practical ways. It will be impossible to pursue holiness without the working of the Holy Spirit that will enable you to align your desires, will, and entire being up into the instructions of God and His Word.
