Pursuing Holiness - Bible Study Book Applications from James

An honest evaluation of your life may leave you wanting more--not more stuff but more meaning. Pursuing Holiness can put you on the path to a maturing life in Christ. Of course, the world provides no cheerleaders for a disciple's pursuit of personal holiness. And it's natural to drift away from holiness rather than toward it. This discipline requires focus, knowledge, community, and practice.

This six-session study in the Disciple for Life series equips believers with the tools to put the pursuit of a holy life not only in its proper place but also within reach. It avoids the pitfalls of legalistic structures. Instead, the study encourages believers to pursue a life of continual spiritual growth that is embraced by the grace of God and defined by the gospel of Jesus Christ. As you discover applications from the Book of James, you'll learn that endurance, humility, obedience, and prayer can be essential parts of your everyday life. Why? Because a life dedicated to Christ is a life in which holiness is the norm.
