'Magnificent-the plainest, wisest, most realistic and down to earth treatment of its theme that has come my way in years-The work is pure gold: be sensible, and invest in it' - Jim Packer. God's command is 'Be holy for I am holy.' But as victims of sins 'guerrilla warfare', Christians are often prone to give up the fight, or at least compromise with sin. Jerry Bridges sees the pursuit of holiness as a joint venture between God and the Christian. 'No one can attain any degree of holiness' Writes Bridges 'Without God working in his life, but just as surely no one will attain it without effort on his own part.' So why do we so rarely experience holy living? 'If we sin' he writes 'it is because we choose to sin-we are simply disobedient.' Bridges' challenges new and experienced Christians to adopt biblical principles and so obey Gods call to pursue a holy life.
