Hole in Our Holiness, The: Filling the Gap between Gospel Passion and the Pursuit of Godliness

What does it mean to be holy? Why should we care? And how can we change? The hole in our holiness is that we don't care much about holiness. Or, at the very least, we don't understand it.

This is a book for those of us who are ready to take holiness seriously, ready to be more like Jesus, ready to live in light of the grace that produces godliness. This is a book about God's power to help us grow in personal holiness and to enjoy the process of transformation.

"This book is vintage DeYoung - ruthlessly biblical."?

"One might expect a book about holiness to be heavy on finger-pointing, leaning toward legalism, and embarrassingly out-of-touch. But The Hole in Our Holiness is none of those things. Instead, Kevin DeYoung gets specific about what Spirit-infused, gospel-driven effort toward holiness looks like."?
