“Godliness has value for all things.” —1 Timothy 4:8 (NIV)
How can you develop godly character? Bestselling author Jerry Bridges says that godliness is more than a character trait: “It is a foundational spiritual quality that makes the entire Christian life dynamic, effective, and pleasing to God.” Growing in godliness is a twofold process. It involves an ever-deepening devotion to God and developing character that is steadily transformed into His likeness.
In The Practice of Godliness, the sequel to the popular book The Pursuit of Holiness, readers will learn how laying an inward foundation of God-centeredness will permit them to build an outward structure of godliness. Character formation will never be the same! Study guide included.

Level of relationship building: two stars Level of difficulty for our group: some challenges
"I would recommend this study material."
Reasons for my recommendation:
Even though it has been a number of years since I was part of using
this study with a small group, it's still one of the best and memorable
studies of which I have been a part. Great biblical content, no fluff
here. Best used by reading the text along with guide."
