Synopsis
The Pursuit of Holiness audio book will inspire you to make holiness a major part of your spiritual formation.
Synopsis
Holiness doesn't mean perfection. So what is it?
This audio version of Navigator author Jerry Bridges' The Pursuit of Holiness examines how Christians can become more like Christ through discipleship, prayer, obedience, and the Holy Spirit.
Synopsis
What does holiness look like? For starters, it doesn't look anything like perfection. And it doesn't necessarily look like victory. Mostly, it consists of effort, prayer, grace, and obedience. "Scripture speaks of both a holiness we have in Christ before God, and a holiness we are to strive after," writes the author. We can ignore neither Christ's role nor our own if we are to successfully pursue holiness. It is as simple as refusing to smudge the truth on a tax return or as complicated as forgiving the person who has most viciously hurt us. Jerry takes holiness out of the realm of the impossible and brings it into the real world of our daily lives and decisions.
