About this listen

The "hole in our holiness" is that evangelicals don't look particularly holy, and despite the flood of gospel-centered discussions, there seems to be a greater focus on personal depravity than on the pursuit of holiness. Looking to right the balances, Kevin DeYoung presents a popular-level treatment of sanctification and union with Christ, helping readers to see what matters most - being like Jesus. He shows how one can be like Christ in being joined to Christ.

The market is ready for DeYoung's timely book, ready to avoid legalism and ambivalence, and they are ready for someone to articulate the inextricable relationship between grace and holiness.

Gospel-centred, easy to listen to and informative book on holiness. The author is honest in all what he says on these Biblical truths. Lots of material included in this book wasn't new to me but it was really good to be reminded. I am sure I will come back to it again to re-listen it more than once. There are lots of things to ponder on now after having listened to it. I am also greatly encouraged now to pray for holiness in churches, for people around me and more than anything- for my own holiness.

Excellent audiobook on holiness!

I really enjoyed Kevin DeYoung’s writing style, his dry sense of humour makes his insightful Biblical truths really hit home. Good length too, not unnecessarily long like many Christian books.

A very worthwhile listen

I used to get confused about what God did for me and what He expects of me now. This book thoroughly answered the question for me. I will listen to this book again and again.

WHAT A BOOK!!

I’m a mature Christian, been an elder etc so “Know everything”. Not. This was helpful and encouraging. Recommended.

A great introduction to this vital topic. To be holy is to be like Jesus and to love God is to want to be holy. It is the Spirit's work to make us holy, but this does not negate our effort.

The reader is easy to listen to but occasionally I think he makes some pronunciation errors such as 'predicted' for 'predicated'.

Biblical, heartfelt, honest and practical

What can I say. I made it two thirds of the way through the audio book. Much of this is absolutely true (perhaps not enough focus on what of the OT made it through the cross and what didn’t). But it just depressed me. And I’m a Christian of 40 years and an evangelical senior pastor of 33 years.

Maybe it’s just me?

2 Corinthians 7:10 NIV
[10] Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
