The Pursuit of the Holy

As Christians, God has called us to be holy -- a calling which I am very much struggle to fulfill. I come across this book few years ago after I saw an ad in Christianity Today magazine. Since I am struggling with the issue of holiness, I found that just every book about holiness is daunting. However, this book has caught my attention: the very first chapter of this book has given me much encouragement, not only to continue the reading till the end, but to find comfort in God's role for me to live a holy life. \\r\\n\\r\\nThe first chapter closed with the explanations on Zechariah 3, where even the high priest Joshua -- the supposedly """"holiest"""" man in God's people -- was found to be wearing a filthy clothes in the presence of God, with the devil accusing him! But instead of accepting devil's accusations, the LORD sent his angel to sanctify Joshua and provide clean garments and turbans for him. \\r\\n\\r\\nOver the rest of the chapters, the authors spoke about God's nature on holiness and end the book with guidelines and encouragement to stay holy. The author quoted many writing from the past theologians, making this book a rich reference and essential guidelines for us to """"be holy as I AM holy"""". \\r\\n\\r\\nVery recommended for all Christians, especially those who desire and chase after God. \\r\\n
