About the book

As a follow-up to The Pursuit of Holiness, this book digs deeper into how human effort and divine grace relate in the Christian life. Bridges distinguishes between the "grace that saves us" and the "grace that disciplines us," showing that both flow from the same source.

The book is especially known for its chapter on preaching the gospel to oneself daily, a practice that became one of Bridges's most frequently cited contributions to contemporary evangelical spirituality.
