"Be holy, for I am holy," commands God to His people. But holiness is something that is often missed in the Christian’s daily life. According to 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 accept responsibility for ourselves. 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.

"An amazing book that everyone should read at least once in their lives. Believers or non-believers. It is practical and touches on many real and challenging sins and obstacles that confounds anyone in our everyday lives. Can't wait to check out the sequel, 'The Practice of Godliness'. "

" The Pursuit of Holiness: A Study Guide Based on the Book by Jerry Bridges (1978) "
— Laura, 4/6/2013" Great book. Practical, to the point, does not use a lot of stories to illustrate point, which I appreciate. "
— Lacey, 4/30/2011" I read this 3 years ago and it was excellent! "
— Kelly, 2/27/2011" I want to read this again with some fresh eyes, but I have been challenged and encouraged by this book. Jerry Bridges pieces together a great argument for a Christian need to pursue holiness in this life and gives practical ways to do so. I recommend this book. "
— Jeremy, 2/17/2011" Simply excellent. this book should be in EVERY christian's library and read repeatedly. "
— Lee, 1/31/2011" Great shortt book to stir you passion for God "
— Mark, 1/27/2011" This is a good example of a book that could foster something akin to spiritual OCD ("scrupulosity" as it is called, or an obsession with sin) in young Christians with sensitive consciences. "
— Jason, 1/15/2011" The do's and don'ts of the christian faith, the quest for a life set apart, what holiness is to look like and how we can seek the things that draw us closer to the ideal. Its all here and its tough on the reader to see how we are far from that ideal. "
— Brian, 10/23/2010" This is an excellent book that takes the topic of holiness out of the untouchable realm of the theoretically impossible and into our day-to-day lives. It was challenging for me 30 years ago when I first read it, and I still feel its effects in my life today. "
— George, 9/25/2010" Jerry Bridges, A. W. Tozer and Oswald Chambers remind me of each other - they each want us to draw closer to God and His Holiness. "
— Stephanie, 8/18/2010" Wowza! This is a must read & re-read...so many punctuated & practical chapters on the Christian's calling to be like God. I've never understood what my part is & what God's part is in living a holy life until I read this short but succinct take on the need for set-apart living... "
— Kevin, 8/16/2010" This book kicked my butt. Bridges is hard-hitting and insightful. His view of sin and holiness is uncompromising but not legalistic. I am extremely convicted, and plan to revisit this book many times in the future. "
