Why Holiness Matters: We've Lost Our Way--But We Can Find it Again

Front Cover
Moody Publishers, Aug 1, 2012 - Religion - 176 pages

Have we tried so hard to avoid being holier-than-thou that we’ve forgotten how important it is to be holy?

Authenticity matters. Transparency matters. Being open about our shortcomings, misgivings, and failures matters. Yet holiness also matters.

This book is a timely reminder not to lose the old priorities as we take on the new, albeit noble, ones. Millennial author Tyler Braun helps us understand that holiness is not just some fine ideal destined for generations past; it’s the unyielding pursuit that defines every Christian life.

The beginning of our calling toward a holy life is the challenge of loving God more deeply. Holiness is not found in strict rule keeping alone; it is found in our desire of the Holy One. Holiness is not new behaviors. Holiness is new affections.
