The Pursuit of Holiness

Rating:
Summary: A thoughtful delineation of Biblical Holiness
Review: This book is dynamite and I heartily recommend it for all Christians serious about holiness. Basically, it's an abridgement of JC Ryle's "Holiness," which is also an excellent text. What makes this book so appealing is that it does not merely wax poetical about the virtues of holiness, but outlines the Biblical understanding of it, including debunking aberrant doctrines like "higher life theology." Anyone who is persuaded by the Charismatic/Pentacostal or Holiness movements should give this book an honest read. To the book's credit, it is full of practical advice and very accessible to the average Christian.

Summary: The most helpful and practical book to date on the subject!
Review: This book was loaned to me and as soon as I opened it, my eyes were glued!! Jerry Bridges, a well respected author and teacher does a superb job presenting the teachings of scripture on this subject. Lots of verses presented in this book--it's loaded! I also recommended this book to a bible study group I'm apart of--tremendous praise from the participants. This is a must read for any Christian who wants a comphrehensive reference and study on the subject of growing in holiness.
