The Pursuit of Holiness
Description
"Be holy, for I am holy," commands God to His people. But holiness is something that is often missing in the Christian's daily life. Why does holiness often seem so unattainable? Is it because we're not exactly sure what holiness is?
In The Pursuit of Holiness, Jerry Bridges helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do and what we should accept as responsibility for ourselves.
Discover how God has equipped you to lead a holy life, how reason and emotion influence your will, how habits and personal discipline play a part in holy living. Whether you are continuing your pursuit of holiness or just beginning, the principles and guidelines in this book will lead you to a real and tangible holiness that will change your walk with God forever.
