Synopsis

The "hole in our holiness" is that evangelicals don't look particularly holy, and, despite the flood of gospel-centered discussions, there seems to be a greater focus on personal depravity than on the pursuit of holiness. Looking to right the balances, Kevin DeYoung presents a popular-level treatment of sanctification and union with Christ, helping readers to see what matters most--being like Jesus. He shows how one can be like Christ in being joined to Christ. The market is ready for DeYoung's timely book, ready to avoid legalism and ambivalence, and they are ready for someone to articulate the inextricable relationship between grace and holiness.

4.5 stars "There is a gap between our love for the Gospel and our love for godliness. This must change. It's not pietism, legalism, or fundamentalism to take holiness seriously. It's the way of all those who have been called to a holy calling by a holy God." Great reminder and exhortation to avoid wor......more

This is the best book I have read in awhile in relation to my walk with God! Deyoung is incredibly relatable and equally inspiring to the reader- encouraging them to grow in holiness. I now recognize the NEED to do so and how God commands and wishes us to have a holy life. I HIGHLY suggest this book......more
