Summary

If God is holy, then he can’t sin. If God can’t sin, then he can’t sin against you. If he can’t sin against you, shouldn’t that make him the most trustworthy being there is? Best-selling author Jackie Hill Perry, in her much anticipated follow-up to Gay Girl, Good God, helps us find the reason we don’t trust God - we misunderstand his holiness. In Holier Than Thou, Jackie walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of “holy” as we’ve come to know it and revealing it for what it really is: good news. Here, we will see that God is not like us. He is different. He is holy. And that’s exactly what makes him trustworthy. As it turns out, God being “holier than thou” is actually the best news in the world, and it’s the key to trusting him.

The holiness of God explained so beautifully

First of all, I love that Jackie Hill Perry read this herself. I have heard her speak many times and her delivery is usually quite sobering and adds to the depth of what she is sharing. As the author she clearly knew where to put the emphasis on certain phrases. It definitely brought this to life.
The topic of the holiness of God and our response to it is (and should be, I think) a bit daunting. But this book breaks it down and serves it back to you it a way that is challenging yet accessible.
A brilliant book that will help readers/listeners grow in this area.

Incredible!

Simple, yet expensive. A clear and in-depth discourse on what God's holiness is and how to pursue it.

theologically rich and beautifully written/read

The author makes the explores the holiness of God in a way that is both accessible and awe-inspiring.

Her writing and reading style is poetic and rich in imagery, which may not be to everyone's taste, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have found it to be fuel for my own devotion.

Holier Than thou

Anamazing book, it is well written. I would recommend this book to everyone. I loved ever bit of this book. I will read it again. Jackie was able to dig deep and really point us to God. This book is deep and well worth reading. I read each chapter everyday & enjoyed every bit of it. Her reading it to me aloud me to really dive into what she was trying to communicate. May God blew her, I highly recommend this book.

Couldn't recommend more highly!

Such a great book. I love how Jackie takes these important truths and expresses them in a clear and practical manner. The holiness of God sometimes feels so abstract because it is hard for us to understand but this book feels far from abstract. It's hard hitting at times and to the point, challenging me and encouraging me and I couldn't recommend this book more highly to anyone because this is life changing stuff if you can get to grips with it.
Whatever we fix our focus on will have a transforming influence on our lives. I'm challenged again to make sure my focus is on the holy, perfect God himself so that I might become like him.

A game changer for my faith

This has completely restored my view and belief in God. So many deep rooted issues/lies that were delaying my growth have been destroyed, unveiling a new understanding of God

Transforming

As a newly saved person (8 months) and still struggling with certain strongholds—this audio book was extremely helpful in guiding me to the realisation that my struggles were rooted in unbelief. And exposed me to a renewed view of God, that he’s Holy. I already knew that of course, but as we all know there’s a difference in knowing and understanding.

Jackie paints a picture so clear and distinctive, a true vessel for the Lords work especially for under 25s like me who grew up in a generation/ mindset so contrary to God’s holiness.

Praise be the God.
