Synopsis

True Christian faith is a profoundly transformational experience in which every part of our being is marked by God’s change and energized by his presence. This transformation takes us far beyond mere sin avoidance to a robust “full-bodied” holiness in which we make ourselves “holy available” to God every minute of the day. From Starbucks, to the office, to the soccer fields, to the boardroom, believers have the opportunity to carry the presence of Christ wherever they go. God offers the reader more than mere forgiveness; he wants to radically change and fill them with his presence, so they can experience an entirely different kind of life based not just on what they do or don’t do but on who they are.Yet while many Christians today profess belief, their Christianity has no pulse. Holy Available is a manifesto of fully alive faith. Gary Thomas issues a compelling call for readers to see with Christ’s eyes, feel with Christ’s heart, and serve with Christ’s hands. We make ourselves available to become “God oases,” places of spiritual refuge where God can bring the hurting and lost to enjoy his presence and ministry.

This book was not exactly what I was expecting, as it focused much more on the first half of the title (the beautiful fight) than the latter. He certainly clearly emphasized the seldom realized Truth that it is only b......more

I much prefer the new title, "Holy Available: What If Holiness Is about More Than What We Don’t Do?" I think that captures the theme of the book better, and certainly is what I got out of the book.......more

Goodreads review by Becky on March 08, 2017

Gary Thomas is one of my favorite authors. He's set the bar really high for himself. I found this book a little less engaging than his others that I've read, but that's not to say I didn't get a lot out of it. I did. I just didn't connect quite as much with the subject matter of this book.......more

Goodreads review by Heather on March 23, 2009

This is a great book to remind Christians that just being in church is not enough. One of my favorite images that Gary evokes is that going to church or spending time praying are like a lunch break--they can be used to rest and restore people. But when the relaxing is done, it's time to go back to "......more
