The Pursuit of Holiness (Jerry Bridges)

"The Pursuit of Holiness" by Jerry Bridges emphasizes that holiness—a life dedicated to God's principles—is achievable but requires intentional effort. Bridges explains that holiness is not about perfection but growing increasingly like Christ through daily choices, surrender, and reliance on God's grace. He encourages believers to cultivate spiritual disciplines, guard against sin, and pursue integrity, understanding that sanctification is a collaborative process involving God's work in us and our active participation. Ultimately, the book provides practical guidance for believers seeking to deepen their faith and reflect Christ’s character in everyday life.
