			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pursuing Holiness in Your Everyday Life</p>
<p><strong>Taken from NavPress<sup>®</sup> classic <em>The Pursuit of Holiness</em>, this book shows students how “running as to get the prize” isn’t just possible, it’s what life is all about.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Bible calls us to “Be holy.” Is that even possible? </strong></p>
<p>There must have been some glitch in the translation, right? The writer must have meant, “Be good enough” or “Be decent,” but never “Be holy.” That’s impossible, isn’t it?<br />
That depends on your definition of “holy.” If by it you mean “always perfect, never making a mistake” you’re right—that’s impossible. But if by “holy” you mean “wanting and doing the right things,” that can be done with the aid of the Holy Spirit.<br />
Taken from NavPress<sup>®</sup> classic <em>The Pursuit of Holiness</em>, this book shows students how “running as to get the prize” isn’t just possible, it’s what life is all about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to Mature in Christ</p>
<p><strong>Best-selling author Jerry Bridges presents the essentials of the Christian faith.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What does it mean to follow Christ?</strong>When we are gripped by the astonishing fact of Christ&#8217;s love for us, we desire to draw close to Him. But what can we do to deepen our relationship with Jesus? What does He expect of us? And how can we be more like Him?</p>
<p>In <em>Growing Your Faith</em>, author Jerry Bridges, one of the most respected Bible teachers of our time, presents the essential elements of Christian life in a highly readable, surprisingly practical form. Jerry shows us how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Feed our spiritual life through taking in the Scriptures</li>
<li>Rely on the Holy Spirit in obedience and prayer</li>
<li>Trust God during the trials of life</li>
<li>Contribute our unique gifts to serve others</li>
</ul>
<p>When we more fully open our hearts to the truth of His gospel and acknowledge the role of the Holy Spirit in our pursuit of holiness, we can make genuine progress in our spiritual lives. And that&#8217;s a big part of what it means to follow Christ.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Character is sadly lacking in our society today—and in the church. Here&#8217;s a foundation to build on.</strong></p>
<p><strong>WHAT MAKES A PERSON GODLY?</strong><br />
Scripture tells us that God has given us &#8220;everything we need for life and godliness.&#8221; But what makes a Christian godly? In this book, Jerry Bridges examines what it means to grow in Christian character and helps us establish the foundation upon which that character is built. Bridges opens our eyes to see how character formation affects the way we relate to God, to ourselves, and to others.</p>
<p>In order to live godly lives, we need an inward foundation of God-centeredness. This book will help you establish that foundation and then build an outward structure of godlikeness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Living Confidently in God&#8217;s Unfailing Love</p>
<p><strong>Feeling that you can&#8217;t measure up to Christian standards? You need a shot of God&#8217;s grace! </strong></p>
<p><strong>GRACE—IT&#8217;S NOT JUST FOR BEGINNERS</strong><br />
Funny how the exceeding riches of God&#8217;s grace seem to run out the moment we&#8217;re saved. From then on, we tend to base our relationship with Him on our performance rather than on His grace.Of course, God continues to deal with us on the basis of His grace, whether or not we understand it. It&#8217;s just that when we don&#8217;t, we forgo the abundant freedoms that come from not having to measure up.</p>
<p>The product of over 10 years of Bible study, <em>Transforming Grace</em> is a fountainhead of inspiration and renewal that will show you just how inexhaustible and generous God&#8217;s grace really is—you&#8217;ll never be able to ask for too much, need too much, hope for too much, or even sin too much. Like a never-ending stream of ocean waves crashing on the shore, His grace &#8220;superabounds&#8221; toward you without measure.</p>

<p><strong>What difference does the gospel make?</strong></p>
<p>The gospel of Jesus Christ is the door to eternal life, but what difference does it make once we&#8217;re inside God&#8217;s kingdom? Jerry Bridges says the gospel is the very lifeblood of our walk with God. Without doubt it is the key to our salvation, but it is also the power for our daily progress in holiness. <em>The Gospel for Real Life</em> will help you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Experience freedom from the grip of sin and know the joy of pursuing holiness</li>
<li>Revel in God&#8217;s acceptance of you and participate in His grace as a daily reality</li>
<li>Expose the subtle acids of legalism in your life and enjoy the liberty of the cross</li>
<li>Discover how to &#8220;preach the gospel to yourself daily&#8221; and so partake of its continuous transforming power</li>
<li>Carry the true fullness of the gospel to a desperately needy world around you</li>
</ul>
<p>This new paperback edition includes a study guide to help you experience every day &#8220;the unsearchable riches of Christ&#8221; that are available to us in the gospel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Confronting the Sins We Tolerate</p>
<p>Have Christians become so preoccupied with the major sins of our society that we have lost sight of our need to deal with our own more subtle sins? Jerry Bridges returns to his trademark theme of holiness and addresses a dozen clusters of specific “acceptable” sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves—such as jealousy, anger, pride, unthankfulness, and judgmentalism.</p>
<p>Jerry writes not from a height of spiritual accomplishment but from the trenches of his own battles with sin. In his admonitions, Jerry offers a message of hope in the profound mercy of the gospel and the transforming grace of God as the means to overcoming our subtle sins.</p>
<p>If you lead a small group or Bible class, don’t miss the companion discussion guide for this important book.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>God&#8217;s Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness</p>
<p><strong>The same grace that brings us salvation also teaches us to discipline ourselves as we pursue holiness.</strong><br />
<strong>DOES LIVING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE FEEL LIKE AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK?</strong><br />
Remember that your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God&#8217;s grace, nor are your best days ever so good that you are beyond the need of it.</p>
<p>We know we need grace. Without it we&#8217;d never come to Christ in the first place, but being a Christian is more than just coming to Christ. It&#8217;s about growing and becoming more like Jesus—it&#8217;s about pursuing holiness. The pursuit of holiness is hard work, and that&#8217;s where we turn from grace to discipline—and often make a big mistake.</p>
<p>Grace is every bit as important for growing as a Christian as it is for becoming a Christian. &#8220;The pursuit of holiness,&#8221; writes Jerry Bridges, &#8220;must be anchored in the grace of God; otherwise it is doomed to failure.&#8221; Grace is at the heart of the gospel, and without a clear understanding of the gospel and grace we can easily slip into a performance-based lifestyle that bears little resemblance to what the gospel offers us.</p>
<p>According to Bridges, many Christians don&#8217;t have a good grasp of what the gospel message is. In <em>The Discipline of Grace</em>, he offers a clear and thorough explanation of the gospel and what it means to the believer. Bridges discusses how the same grace that brings us to faith in Christ also disciplines us in Christ, and how we learn to discipline ourselves in the areas of commitment, conviction, choices, watchfulness, and adversity.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever struggled with what your role is and what role God takes in your growth as a Christian, this book will comfort and challenge you as you learn to rest in Christ while vigorously pursuing a life of holiness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Twenty-five years ago, this book opened Christians&#8217; eyes to a new way of &#8220;running the race&#8221;&#8211;today it still inspires a real and tangible holiness. Now available with an updated new look.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What does holiness look like? </strong>For starters, it doesn&#8217;t look anything like perfection. And it doesn&#8217;t necessarily look like victory. Mostly, it consists of effort, prayer, grace, and obedience. &#8220;Scripture speaks of both a holiness we have in Christ before God, and a holiness we are to strive after,&#8221; writes the author. We can ignore neither Christ&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Jerry takes holiness out of the realm of the impossible and brings it into the real world of our daily lives and decisions. Whether you’re continuing your pursuit of holiness or just beginning, the principles and guidelines in The Pursuit of Holiness will challenge you to obey God’s command of holiness.</p>
