If God is holy, then He can’t sin. If God can’t sin, then He can’t sin against you. If He can’t sin against you, shouldn’t that make Him the most trustworthy being there is? Bestselling author Jackie Hill Perry, in her much anticipated follow-up to Gay Girl, Good God, helps us find the reason we don’t trust God— we misunderstand His holiness. In Holier Than Thou, Jackie walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of “holy” as we’ve come to know it and revealing it for what it really is: good news. In these pages, we will see that God is not like us. He is different. He is holy. And that’s exactly what makes Him trustworthy. As it turns out, God being “holier than thou” is actually the best news in the world, and it’s the key to trusting Him.

Samuel Logan Brengle (1860-1936) was a commissioner in The Salvation Army and a leading author, teacher and preacher on the doctrine of holiness. His religious experiences are readily relayed through his writings, and his testimony and teaching have been instrumental in the salvation and sanctification of many, both while he lived and since his passing. Brengle was a prolific author, and his books are some of the most readable works on holiness that we have ever seen. Despite the depth of his personal spirituality, he is one of the most approachable ministers in our library. Reading his books has been compared to having coffee with a Godly uncle. You will definitely receive sound teaching, but in a most friendly and personal way. He is also easily quotable. You could almost pick any paragraph from any of his books and you'd have something good to share with your friends. His works have been long members of our library, and have always been something worth reading and re-reading. His works are not usually among our top-sellers, but are definitely among our most highly reviewed. If you've read any of his works, you can easily understand why.

This new edition replaces both The Pursuit of Holiness (ISBN 9781576839324) and the study guide (ISBN 9781576839881) by combining both resources into one volume "Be holy, for I am holy," commands God. 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. The included study guide contains 12 lessons.

"Do you want to know what holiness is? It is pure love," writes Samuel Brengle. In HELPS TO HOLINESS he explains what holiness is and how to get it. Learn how to deal with hindrances and temptations. Discover the secret of spiritual power and how to maintain it. Understand how God turns faith into grace and what to do if you slip or backslide. Draw inspiration for prayer from the examples of great soul-winners and the testimony of modern witnesses. Be at perfect peace. Samuel Logan Brengle was saved as a young adult. Called to preach, he studied at Indiana Asbury University and Boston Theological Seminary. Initially an intinerant preacher for the Methodists, after hearing William Booth preach he joined the Salvation Army and trained with them in London, England. On his return to the United States, Brengle's gifts as a preacher won him widespread recognition. He wrote HELPS TO HOLINESS while recovering from an injury sustained during his ministry in Boston. Brengle's leadership skills led to his being appointed Commissioner of the Salvation Army.

This book lays out the requirements and difficulties that will come with the pursuit of holiness in our Christian lives. Ryle starts out with the way to achieve holiness and the difficulties that arise with pursuing a holy life, and then going throughout the Bible giving true examples of the cost of holiness and the rewards it brings as the Bible promises us. To often we sing and pray for such a life without being willing to undergo the necessary life changes and adjustments to get there. This book lays out what we can expect in such a journey and what God will ask of each of us to get us to the point He wants us to be.

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.
