Publisher's summary

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.

Solid reminder.

Theologically based yet practical. The applications are mostly straight from scripture. a good read for a young person.

A great and practical book on holiness!

I found this book to be very practical and therefore it impacted my life. I praise God for the work through Kevin de Young. I am definitely stirred to read more of his books now. I give this book the highest recommendation and the audio recording was spectacular. Very engaging.

Behind the curtain... inside the heart

Spoken in passion with the translation to everyday understanding and application. This book stands alone and is a great companion in our quest to get closer to the Holy Spirit. A pleasure to soak up this book. Thank you

Thoughts we need to think

Thought provoking and well thought out. One listen is not enough. True to the word of God. Well read too. Our era misses this badly. Much needed truths.

A wonderful refocusing on holiness

This is a wonderfully focused book on holiness and how, as believers, we must be mindful of our pursuit of holiness - to be more conformed to Christ. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

ten good messages on holiness.

Each topic was diverse on the same topic of holiness. I recommend this book and the practice of it.

Sound teaching

An exegetical sound teaching by a very Biblical gifted pastor and teacher. Thanks again, Kevin Deyoung.
