Trusting God – Even When Life Hurts (Jerry Bridges)
$13.99$16.99
Sometimes we find it easier to obey God than to trust Him.
Because obeying God makes sense to us. In most cases, His laws appear reasonable and wise, and even when we don’t want to obey them, we usually concede that they are good for us. But the circumstances we find ourselves in often defy explanation. Before long, we begin to doubt God’s concern for us or His control over our lives. We ask, “Why is God allowing this?” or “What have I done wrong?”
During such a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a thorough Bible study on the topic of God’s sovereignty. What he learned changed his life, and in Trusting God he shares the fruit of that study. As you explore the scope of God’s power over nations, nature, and even the details of your life, you’ll find yourself trusting Him more completely—even when life hurts.
This new edition includes the study guide which used to be a separate volume – now all in one book.

About the Author
The Pursuit of Holiness. Trusting God. The Practice of Godliness. The Joy of Fearing God. One look at these book titles gives you a clear indication of what author Jerry Bridges is all about! Jerry is always teaching readers how they can know and understand God in a deep and meaningful way, and how that knowledge can literally transform their lives.
Jerry’s own life changed while serving as an officer in the United States Navy. It was during his military career that he first came into contact with The Navigators, an organization committed to this holy mission: “to reach, disciple, and equip people to know Christ and make Him known through successive generations.” Jerry soon felt God’s call to work for The Navigators ministry. He soon became Vice President of its corporate affairs, applying his University of Oklahoma education. His relationship with The Navigators began in 1955, and it’s still going strong.
Jerry Bridges’ extensive writing ministry
One major avenue for Jerry’s seasoned teaching abilities has been books. He’s written six to date: the four above, Transforming Grace, and The Discipline of Grace, which won a Gold Medallion Book Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. The Practice of Godliness has been honored as well with sales of more than 400,000 copies (and counting). But it is The Pursuit of Holiness for which Jerry is best known.
Selling over a million copies, Pursuit explains clearly how God has equipped us to lead holy lives, how reason and emotion influence our will, and how habits and personal discipline play a part in holy living. One satisfied reader, whose opinion is shared by many more, reviews the book on amazon.com and says that Pursuit “is one of the greatest motivating books I have ever read. Jerry Bridges, through illumination from God, reveals what holiness is . . . and what that means to a Christian life.”
What Jerry Bridges means to his audience is evident—he’s a trusted, reliable source of spiritual wisdom that always leads them to the source of all things right and true: God.
Born in Texas, Jerry now lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with his wife, Jane.

Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate (Jerry Bridges)
$12.99As Christians, we believe that all sins are considered equal in God’s eyes. Yet while evangelicals continue to decry the ones we consider ‘Big Ones’ – abortion, adultery, murder – we often overlook more deceptive sins. More personal sins. The ones we commit.
It seems we have created a sliding scale where gossip, jealousy, and selfishness comfortably thrive. In short, some sins have simply become acceptable.
Author Jerry Bridges believes that just as culture has lost the concept of sin, the church faces the same danger. He writes not from a sense of achievement, but from the trenches of his own personal battles. Drawing from scriptural truth, he sheds light on subtle behaviors that can derail our spiritual growth, and he encourages us on a path to victory by re-applying the gospel freshly to our lives.
