Jerry Bridges on godliness as a foundational spiritual quality rather than one trait among others - devotion to God, and character transformed into his likeness. Over 500,000 in print. Read more.
Godliness has value for all things, Paul tells Timothy, and Jerry Bridges takes the claim at full strength: godliness is more than a character trait, it is a foundational spiritual quality that makes the entire Christian life dynamic, effective and pleasing to God.
Growing in it is a twofold process, involving an ever-deepening devotion to God and the steady transformation of character into his likeness, and Bridges works through both halves in turn before taking the individual Christian virtues one at a time. Over 500,000 copies in print, and a companion to The Pursuit of Holiness. An audio edition is also stocked.
