Great, yet easy read. Strongly recommend it! November 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.br /br /This book was so "on the money" for me, that I bet I journaled about twenty-five scriptures that were referenced.br /br /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!

A terrific primer on sanctification October 18, 2008
One of my first seminary classes in Romania was on personal spirituality. The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges was required reading.br /br /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.br /br /In The Pursuit of Holiness, Bridges exposes the myths that we so easily believe regarding our holiness.br /br /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. br /br /I just can't seem to get "victory" over sin. Bridges' response? God calls us to obedience, not victory.br / br /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. br /br /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.br /br /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!"br /br /www.trevinwax.com

Fantastic Study August 23, 2008
Jerry Bridges is insightful and penetrating in his writing. He is easy to understand and gets to the heart of the matter. I used this in conjunction with the companion study book. This really helped me put into action the principles he discusses. It's well worth your time.
