"Be holy as I am holy," says the Lord.
It's the most extravagant-and audacious-invitation 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? The Pursuit Of The Holy by Simon Ponsonby focuses on these questions.
The Pursuit Of The Holy is a thoughtful, thorough, and engaging study of what it means to be holy. Drawing on scripture and some of the great Christian thinkers, Simon Ponsonby affirms that because of God's 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.
The Pursuit Of The Holy is about changing our attitudes and our actions and transforming society and while we can never count on attaining moral perfection in this life, we need not settle for less than increasing victory over sin. As more and more Christians choose to partner with God in the ongoing process of sanctification, we set the stage for revival.
