The Chase: Pursuing Holiness in Your Everyday Life by Jerry Bridges with Jay and Jen Howver is taken from The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges. The Chase uses contemporary illlustrations and Scripture from The Message translation of the Bible to bring the concept of holiness to teens. This book does a good job of explaining holiness and painting a picture of what a holy lifestyle looks like. The Chase points out that holiness is not about perfection but about the heart. the book challenges teens to get to know God so they can ubderstand what He wants for their lives. It also challenges teens to diligently seek God's will for their lives and to chase after holiness.
I think this book would be good material for a small group or Sunday School class of teens. It is one that will challenge Christian teens to go deeper in their walk with God rather than to remain satisfied with a surface relationship.
