THE CASE FOR HOLINESS is borne out of the personal struggles of the author to live a holy life. This book will open the eyes of readers To The invaluable benefits of living a holy life and will educate the reader on why it is impossible for anyone to fulfill God's plan for his/her life without holiness. Every child of God must strive to live a life of holiness because holiness glorifies God, and because that is what we want to do for a God who loves us, who is so merciful to our unrighteousness and, if we sincerely repent, does not remember our sins and lawless deeds any more (Hebrews 8:12). This book will not only provoke you to love God more, To seek Him more, To desire Him more, and to adore Him more than ever before. it will definitely influence, inspire and empower you to commit to pursuing the Holiness of God. Also, this book is a must read because Holiness denies satan the access he seeks to steal, To kill, and to destroy us and those around us. Further, The bible teaches us that a new heaven and a new earth shall soon replace the present heaven and earth. The holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband is about to be revealed. In the holy city, there will be neither tears nor death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any pain (Revelation 21:1-4). And nothing unholy shall be allowed to enter the new city. Therefore, For us who are preparing for that holy city, holiness is not an option but a necessity. Because "without holiness, no one can see God." Hebrews 12:14.

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

The hole in our holiness is that we don't care much about holiness. Or, at the very least, we don't understand it. And we all have our reasons too: Maybe the pursuit of holiness seems legalistic. Maybe it feels like one more thing to worry about in your already overwhelming life. Maybe the emphasis on effort in the Christian life appears unspiritual. Or maybe you've been trying really hard to be holy and it's just not working! Whatever the case, the problem is clear: too few Christians look like Christ and too many don't seem all that concerned about it. This is a book for those of us who are ready to take holiness seriously, ready to be more like Jesus, ready to live in light of the grace that produces godliness. This is a book about God's power to help us grow in personal holiness and to enjoy the process of transformation.

In this book, I expose the lies of the hour saying that holy living and separation from the world are not necessary. The spirit of Jezebel is prominent in so many churches, flaunting its lust and opposition to true righteousness. The charismatic spirit promotes loose living and a wrong definition of grace. For many, grace has become a license to sin. If you are born again, you must also live a holy lifestyle. Holiness is required to make Heaven just as much as the new birth is. You can be born again, but if you are not holy, you will not be saved. Does not the Bible say that without holiness, no man shall see the Lord? Your definition of holiness is not needed nor wanted. Holiness is plainly defined by scripture. Holiness has everything to do with our lives. It includes the teachings of hair, dress, entertainment, the company we keep, our conduct, conversation, how we dress, and much more. This book is not so much about those details but does give a strong defense and voice for the need to be holy. Sadly, so many men that stand behind the pulpits in churches will not preach the message God so requires. The blood of these precious souls will be on the hands of the compromising preachers.

"There was a time," writes renowned theologian J. I. Packer in this classic book on biblical holiness, "when all Christians laid great emphasis on God's call to holiness. But how different it is today! To listen to our sermons and to read the books we write, and then to watch the zany, worldly, quarrelsome way we behave, you would never imagine that once the highway of holiness was clearly marked out for Bible-believers." In this revised and updated edition of Rediscovering Holiness, the highway is once more clearly marked out for a new generation of readers, pointing to true freedom and joy, both now and in eternity.

Many popular views try to reduce the process of Christian growth to a single template: Remember past grace. Rehearse your identity in Christ. Avail yourself of the means of grace. Discipline yourself. But Scripture portrays the dynamics of sanctification in a rich variety of ways. No single factor, truth, or protocol can capture why and how a person is changed into the image of Christ. Weaving together personal stories, biblical exposition, and theological reflection, David Powlison shows the personal and particular ways that God meets you where you are to produce change. He highlights the variety of factors that work together, helping us to avoid sweeping generalizations and pat answers in the search for a key to sanctification. This book is a go-to resource for understanding the multifaceted, lifelong, personal journey of sanctification.

But holiness is something that is often missed in the Christian's daily life. According to Navigator author Jerry Bridges, that's because we're not exactly sure what our part in holiness is. In The Pursuit of Holiness, he helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do--and what we should take responsibility for ourselves. As you deepen your relationship with God, learn more about His character, and understand the Holy Spirit's role in holiness, your spiritual growth will mature.

How do we become better people? Initiatives such as New Year's resolutions, vision boards, thirty-day plans, and self-help books often fail to compel us to live differently. We settle for small goals--frugal spending, less yelling at the kids, more time at the gym--but we are called to something far greater. We are created to be holy. Award-winning author Jessica Hooten Wilson explains that learning to hear the call of holiness requires cultivating a new imagination--one rooted in the act of reading. Learning to read with eyes attuned to the saints who populate great works of literature moves us toward holiness, where God opens up a way of living that extends far beyond what we can conjure for ourselves. Literature has the power to show us what a holy life looks like, and these depictions often scandalize even as they shape our imagination. As such, careful reading becomes a sort of countercultural spiritual discipline. The book includes devotionals, prayers, wisdom from the saints, and more to help individuals and groups cultivate a saintly imagination. Foreword by Lauren F. Winner.
