Nothing can be more consoling to the man of God, than the conviction that the Lord who made the world governs the world; and that every event, great and small, prosperous and adverse, is under the absolute disposal of Him who doth all things well, and who regulates all things for the good of his people.

Jerry Bridges

Jerry Bridges (1929–2016) war ein US-amerikanischer Autor, Referent und langjähriger Mitarbeiter der christlichen Jüngerschaftsorganisation The Navigators. Bekannt durch Bücher wie „Streben nach Heiligkeit“, stand er für eine reformiert geprägte Theologie, die das Zusammenspiel von menschlicher Verantwortung und der bedingungslosen Gnade Gottes betont. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet er eine alltagstaugliche und seelsorgerlich sensible Orientierung, um theologische Grundwahrheiten praktisch im Alltag zu verankern.
