Dean of Sydney Sandy Grant writes in his Minister’s letter to the Cathedral congregations –

“Dear Friends, Jerry Bridges was an excellent Christian author from the United States, long involved with the Navigators, who died a decade ago this year.

You would benefit from reading any of his books if you can find them, from his 1976 classic, The Pursuit of Holiness, onwards through Transforming Grace: Living Confidently in God’s Unfailing Love, The Discipline of Grace, and The Joy of Fearing God.

He wrote thoughtfully, and very much for the ordinary Christian in the pews.

In a number of his books, he talks about the importance of a believer preaching the gospel to yourself every day. …”
