Representaion In Favor Of Books The Holiness of God
Central to God's character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God's holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don't quite know what to do with words like "awe" or "fear." R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.Rating Containing Books The Holiness of God

Wow. I can honestly say this has been one of the most impactful books I have read to date. Sproul has a true gift of storytelling with purpose and beauty. He incorporates history and psychology along with biblical narratives to reveal different aspects of Gods holiness. I am walking away with a much more comprehensive understanding of the perfection of Gods character, the depths of my sin, and how that makes His grace an unfathomable gift.This book is my new favorite book of all time. Reason: It has greatly increased my awe of God and His holiness by reshaping my view of the Bible (a book primarily about God's holiness and how it relates to our unholiness) and exposing me to the writing of someone who has been utterly stricken by the holiness of God and wants nothing more than to see others similarly stricken.
I received this book free. Having read it I am surprised it is a classic. The author covers various passages of Scripture to try and demonstrate the holiness of God. He makes some good points especially in relation to those who ask how a God of love can allow suffering/send people to Hell. He reminds us that we all deserve Hell due to our sin which is an affront to God's holiness and that it is only by God's grace that we are saved (through faith.) Although the book is biblically sound I found
I will be forever indebted to Dr Sproul for this classic work. It was 28 years between reading the first time. So much has happened over that time but hindsight makes it clear, I am passionate about divine sovereignty and holiness because of RC. Every Christian needs to read this as a new believer and then again as a refresher on holiness. When we understand who God is compared to who we are we will be effective tools for the kingdom and faithful slaves for our King.
Actual Ratings: 4:5
This "one sitting" book kept me turning the pages until wee hours of the morning. Few authors possess the keen ability to help readers come into a grasp of the nature of God's holiness, but through this book Dr. Sproul is able to help us better understand what God's holiness means and transport the reader into the presence of God.We often hear many talk about how God is love, yet why do fewer ever speak of His holiness and justice? The Holiness of God reminds me yet again that my salvation
