Holier Than Thou: How God's Holiness Helps Us Trust Him by Jackie Hill Perry

5.0

This book is one of the few I've read about God's holiness. She describes his holiness and then talks about how it should affect our lives. She points out how we often begin gospel presentations with pointing out that we are sinners in need of salvation, but she argues that first we must understand God's holiness before we can understand our holiness. She teaches us that our expectations of God are too low and so we are quick to accept lesser gods. How would our lives be different if our basic premise in life were to be "because God is holy, I will...."
This is not a long book, but it's full of life-giving truth.
