The Pursuit of the Holy: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Pursuit of the Holy" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Be holy as I am holy, says the Lord. Its the most extravagantand audaciousinvitation ever sent: Or in the words of Jesus: Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. But can that really happen? Is holiness an achievable goal for sinful human beings? Thats the ultimate focus of this thoughtful, thorough, and engaging study of what it means to be holy. Drawing on the Bible and Christian thinkers through the ages, Simon Ponsonby affirms that because of Gods gracious love and desire for communion with us, he has done what is possible for us not only to pursue holiness, but to achieve it. While we can never count on attaining moral perfection in this life, we need not settle for less than increasing victory over sin. And as more and more Christians choose to partner with God in the ongoing process of sanctification, we set the stage for revival.

What people are saying about

The Pursuit of the Holy

This book is stern stuff: bracing, convicting, sobering. It calls us away from the shallowness and flimsiness of a Christianity glutted with novelties and agog at celebrities and calls us back to the wild, deep beautyand terrorof Gods sheer holiness. Ponsonby does more than describe holiness, though he does that brilliantly. He makes us ache, in every joint and marrow, for the Holy One and the holy life. Rise up, O church of God, and be done with lesser things.

Mark Buchanan, author of Spiritual Rhythm: Being with Jesus Every Season of Your Soul

Warning: Dont read this book if you want to remain comfortable with your concept of holiness. Simon writes with precision, intellect, and passion on a subject mostly ignored in our own lives and in churches today. He grabs at the throat of passivity, calling for every Christian to get serious about a subject thats very serious to God. A must-read for those who long for Gods holiness to be reflected in their lives and churches today.

Pat Harley, president of Big Dream Ministries

This isnt a book that drives the worn-out Christian toward some standard of holiness through guilt and shame. This is a book that invites believers to the holiness that Jesus offers through grace and truth. Refreshingly honest, thoroughly biblical, and compellingly connected to church history.

Ed Underwood, pastor of Church of the Open Door and author of When God Breaks Your Heart and Reborn to Be Wild
