October Giveaway - The Hole in Our Holiness

It's giveaway time! I'll be giving away one copy of The Hole in Our Holiness by Kevin DeYoung.  To enter the giveaway, fill out the form below. The providential winner will be chosen on Tuesday, October 23 (US addresses only.) Thanks for entering!

Holiness is the sum of a million little things - the avoidance of little evils and little foibles, the setting aside of little bits of worldliness and little acts of compromise, the putting to death of little inconsistencies and little indiscretions, the attention to little duties and little dealings, the hard work of little self-denials and little self-restraints, the cultivation of little benevolences and little forbearances. Are you trustworthy? Are you kind? Are you patient? Are you joyful? Do you love? These qualities, worked out in all the little things of life, determine whether you are a blight or blessing to everyone around you, whether you are an ugly spiritual eyesore or growing up into a good-looking Christian...

It's godliness that God is looking for. The best-looking Christian is the one growing by the Spirit into the likeness of Christ. It's all too common to think holiness is some sort of snooty do-goodism,  prudish moralism, or ugly legalism. But these isms are unfortunate caricatures, owing to our sins, our suspicions, and the lies of the devil. True holiness "is the most beautiful ornament and the most magnificent beauty which can be found in man." Behold it in Christ and become like him in glory (2 Cor. 3:18).
