Clive Brook has written an important series of biblically and theologically sound devotional reflections on various aspects of the calling to be holy in Jesus Christ in this secular age. They have certainly captured my attention and challenged my attitudes at times. Clive's 44 devotional pieces (and his final chapter) are not ones to be read through and passed over but rather they are to be read, perhaps re-read and chewed over before one makes a decision to act on them. Clive invites us on a journey of recognition that we may become who God has called us to be as Christians, holy.
If you are wanting a Christian book to read straight through in one sitting, then maybe this one is not for you at the moment. However, if you are wanting a challenging, thought provoking and encouraging devotional that you can come back to time and again then I recommend Dare to be Holy in this Secular Age.
- *Rev Bruce Cornish - Uniting Church Minister*
"Dare To Be Holy" is an amazing compilation of messages that covers so many facets of what it means to be "holy" or set apart as a follower of Jesus Christ. As you read these messages, you will laugh, maybe even cry, but certainly you will be challenged to reflect on your life and its effectiveness in being the salt and light in this ever-darkening world. Clive's broad life experience, wisdom and discernment gained through years of pastoral ministry to people from varied backgrounds and cultures come to life and is evident as you read and meditate on his messages.
Christians are not just repentant sinners: we are called to become something greater. We are called to be saints. The word "saint" means "holy": we are called to be holy. In this book we are challenged to be holy and to show that holiness in our lives and in our hearts.
In a number of beautiful vignettes Fr Clive takes examples from the Bible and stories from life in our present time to challenge us to accept God's love fully. In so doing we are challenged to be holy. Being holy should - must - change our lives. The short chapters of this book are full of common-sense expositions on this. You may not agree with all the points made, but you will still be deeply challenged.
In particular Fr Clive challenges our ready acceptance of the dominant values of our culture - the materialism, individualism and dependence on worldly success which we so often accept uncritically. This is a real challenge to Christianity which must offer the loving and glorious alternatives founded on the person of Jesus. In this book Fr Clive responds to these challenges and in turn dares us to be holy. May you be challenged and blessed by the words of this book.

Wonderful Food for the Soul
""""Clive Brook has done it again in Dare To Be Holy. He pulls no punches when he asserts that if we are not reading the bible our mind is being fed with 'the secular garbage of the world. ' Not only does his writing inspire, but it provides rich wisdom to enable us to live fully-fledged Christian live in an age of aggressive atheism in which some people have decided that 'they don't do God!' The index of bible verses is an invaluable tool. Clive's book is wonderful food for the soul.
