ⓘ About Jerry Bridges
Jerry Bridges was a staff member of The Navigators, speaker, and Evangelical Christian author that is best known for his debut work “The Pursuit of Holiness.” While he was brought up in a Baptist church and responded to an altar call several times, no one had ever explained to him the true meaning of being born again. Since his family did not have the money for him to attend college, he would ultimately join the US Navy, which he believes was a divine act of providence. Upon arriving in Colorado Springs for training and work, he was expecting that he would be sent to minister overseas. During his time with the Navigators, he was known as a man with a deep commitment to the Scripture and Jesus who lived a godly and simple life just as he taught. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Non-Fiction Books series, Jerry Bridges has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
