"Be holy, for I am holy," commands God to His people. But what does that look like in everyday life?

Because of grace we don't have to earn our salvation . . . but sometimes that leaves us wondering what our part in holiness should be. In this bestselling and long-esteemed resource, renowned author Jerry Bridges helps us see where we should rely on God―and where we should accept responsibility and exercise discipline. Both compassionate and convicting, this theological guide to living a holy life encourages you to dive into Scripture and discover what it means to have:

• Holiness in body
• Holiness in spirit
• Habits of holiness
• Joy in holiness

It now features an added study guide for personal use or group discussion so you can dive deeper into this staple of Jerry Bridges's classic collection. Whether you are just beginning your new life as a Christian or you are continuing your journey, this established and esteemed resource will fuel your spiritual growth and challenge you to joyfully obey God's call to "be holy."

"One of the most important books produced in the past fifty years." ―John MacArthur, pastor at Grace Community Church
