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.
