    1. Shelly, “Pursuit of Holiness” is available at NavPress.com. You can click the link above to purchase either the print or ebook version. We pray it blesses you!

  1. As a close friend of Jerry‘s, I know that Jerry wrote in such a way as he believed the Lord was teaching him in his progressive sanctification. In light of this, I would read the books as they were written. – Chris

  2. I have several of his books (some electronic, some physical). Is there a recommended order in which to read them? Thanks.

    1. Hi Lara! Thanks for commenting. While much of his work covers thematically similar subject matter none of Jerry Bridges’ books belong to a series.

  3. I have the book “The Joy of Fearing God” in English, and I would like to find it in French, as I’m a missionary in Chad (a French-speaking African country), and I think it would be helpful for the people I work with. Every French Christian bookstore I’ve looked at either doesn’t have it, or it is out of stock. Where can I find copies of the French translation – “La Joie de Craindre Dieu”? (By the way, thanks for translating so many of these good books into French!)

    1. Hi Anna! Thank you for your message. We’re not seeing it available anywhere either! While many of Jerry’s books are published by NavPress his book “The Joy of Fearing God” was published by WaterBrook Press. Perhaps they would be able to assist you in your search.
