Publisher Description
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.

We Serve A Holy GOD
Dr. Sproul had a way of communicating to all, rather scholarly or uneducated Biblical truths. One of our greatest sins in our era is the attitude toward our Holy LORD and KING. We should approach HIM with Awe, for HE is Awesome. As Moses when he first encountered GOD at the burning bush, we should approach our CREATOR with hearts purified by the Blood of the LAMB!
I’m Thankful for the Teaching of R.C. Sproul
R.C. Sproul, the founder of Ligonier Ministries, says that The Holiness of God is what he recommends first when people ask him what Ligonier book they should use to help them grow. Jerry Bridges, author of The Pursuit of Holiness, says, "Every Christian who is serious about his or her growth needs to read The Holiness of God." I say that I should have read (or listened to the nine-hour audiobook) The Holiness of God years ago. This 240-page work was first published by Tyndale House in 1984 and is considered a modern classic on the subject of God's holy character. You will find KJV, NKJV, NASB, and NIV Bible verses throughout the 11 chapters. Some of the chapter titles include The Holy Grail, The Insanity of Luther, God in the Hands of Angry Sinners, War and Peace with a Holy God, and Holy Justice. In these 11 chapters, Sproul gives us the proper perspective on God's awesome holiness. He reminds us that God is to be feared and revered and not treated simply as our buddy. Each chapter begins with a quote, and a few questions are provided at the end of each chapter. If you read Sproul's foundational piece, you will hopefully develop a stronger hunger to be holy like God.
Great
This is, by far, one of the best theologically-based books I've read. R.C Sproul is a gifted writer and a wonderful theologian. I recommend this book to the serious theological thinker.
