While a challenging read for the average reader, Mr. Bridges clearly outlines the reasoning for attempting to live a holy life and how we, as Christians, are called to do so. Whether or not this is obtainable is a different subject altogether, but Mr. Bridges is able to assist in fully understanding that such a life is what we are instructed and helps the Holy Spirit in convicting of Biblical truth. I was not fully convinced, prior to my reading of this book, that I should be making any attempt to "live a holy life" - my teachings have pointed towards attempting to live the law is futile and even outdated per Paul's writings, but Mr. Bridges addresses these subjects. Such a timely read for me, I know it was the Lord's doing for this book to reach my hands and eyes when it did, so that it would also reach my heart. For spiritual growth and in God's timing, a must-read.
