Summary

'Be Holy' explores Christianity's fundamental command of biblical holiness through a comprehensive examination of its theological foundations and practical applications. This scholarly yet accessible work investigates three core dimensions: separation unto God, moral purity, and spiritual transformation, demonstrating how these interconnected aspects shape authentic Christian living.

 
The book uniquely balances academic rigor with practical wisdom, making complex theological concepts understandable for both scholars and lay readers. The journey begins with an exploration of holiness from its Hebrew roots (kadosh) through its New Testament fulfillment, establishing a robust theological framework.

 
What sets this work apart is its balanced approach to holiness as both a divine gift and an active pursuit, challenging common misconceptions while providing practical guidance. Through careful examination of biblical texts, historical church documents, and contemporary scholarship, readers gain a deeper understanding of how holiness manifests in daily life.

 
Structured in three main sections, the book progresses from theological foundations to addressing misconceptions, and finally to practical application in areas such as thought life, relationships, and ethical decision-making. This methodical approach, enriched by insights from psychology, sociology, and ethics, presents holiness not as an unattainable ideal but as a comprehensive life orientation.

 
The work serves as both a theological resource and a practical guide, offering actionable steps while maintaining focus on the transformative power of God's grace.

    The God Who Draws Near seeks to retrieve the key elements of a biblical spirituality and what they mean for our daily lives. Spirituality is very much a positive buzz word today; but in so many of the ways that it is used, it muddies the waters as to the nature of true spirituality. By going back to the sources, as the sixteenth-century Reformers would advise, namely, the Scriptures, this book draws together the main threads of a biblical spirituality and provides foundations for believers to anchor their lives in truth, love, and a growing relationship with the living God--that very God who has drawn near to us in love and grace through Jesus Christ. May these pages help you to draw near to him.

With her dead partner's brother Ryan, a handsome homicide detective, shadowing her every move, Izzy's head is spinning.
