Holiness: The nearly forgotten word of Christianity. If it was
happiness, joy, love, grace, or mercy the modern church would be very
familiar with it, but holiness is a word foreign to many professing
Christians. Jerry Bridges has done an outstanding job in awakening
Christians to the fact that God has a responsibility in sanctifying us,
and we as the children of God have a major role in our own pursuit of
holiness. Jerry Bridges shows you as plain as day from the Word of God
that Christ saves people from not only the penalty of sin (hell) but
also from the power of sin. So many Christians sit in the church pew
thinking how wonderful it will be to go to Heaven, yet their daily life
is full of bondage to things that Christ has given them the power to
overcome. The Christian life is not just victory over hell through
Christ, but also over the sinful habits, addictions, and attitudes that
we were enslaved to us sinners. Let Jerry Bridges turn your attention to
what God's Word already states plainly. We have God's mercy to forgive
us of sin, but we also have God's grace to empower us to live like Jesus
did. - M.Brinkley
Thought provoking and challenging, Jerry Bridges provides both an
expositionally sound work with practical insight into our walk with God.
I have read many fine books on the subject of holiness but this is , by
far, the best for a broad spectrum of readers. True to form with
navigators material, this is very user friendly for group Bible study
material. - Robert Bird
The author lays out his content in a well organized manner and the
study guide supplements the content with meaningful and relevant
questions and references. For my group (young single men aged 20-25),
both the book and study guide provided excellent springboards into
meaningful discussion and personal application. I also highly recommend
ordering the Topical Memory System, as it is a useful resource and
highlighted as an application in one of the chapters. - Anonymous.
