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! 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. Unfortunately, too many of us embrace grace for our salvation but then leave it behind in our everyday lives.
We base our relationship with God on our performance rather than on His love for us, even when we intuitively know that our performance cannot earn us the love we so desperately crave. This edition includes the full study guide, which was formerly available as a separate product ISBN We want to live loving, joyful, anxiety-free lives. These qualities of character can truly mark our lives if we devote ourselves to a twofold pursuit: God-centeredness and God-likeness.
Jerry shows us how to practice the fruit in daily life. The greatest pursuit in life is holiness. Unfortunately, individuals, churches, even entire denominations often practice distorted spiritual formation.
As a result, spiritual growth is hindered, personal witness is damaged, the Great Commission is inhibited, and God is dishonored. The solution to distorted spiritual formation is a holistic approach, centered on the Great Commandment.
The Pursuit of Holistic Holiness provides a biblical theology of spiritual formation, identifies pitfalls of imbalanced spiritual growth, and offers practical solutions to help Christians recognize and overcome deficiencies in the transformation process. Whatever your spiritual maturity level, this book will facilitate your path forward. The pursuit of holistic holiness has the potential to spark a reformation in the Church!
