Brand New Release from John Eldredge
"The Utter Relief of Holiness"
I received this book from FlyByPromotions to read and write about on my blog. I had never heard of John Eldredge before and didn't really know what to expect from this work. After reading it, I really understand why people hold him so high as an author. Great work and great examples, descriptions and more of how we just need to continue to try and live holy. Once you figure out you'll never be perfect and just decide to continue to let the Lord use you and build you, you can get by all of this crazy stuff of the "world". Reading this helped me understand why this verse means so much:
"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." -Romans 12:1
We'll never be perfect and never be holy, but if we continue to present ourselves to the Lord to be used, God will be pleased!!
We'll never be perfect and never be holy, but if we continue to present ourselves to the Lord to be used, God will be pleased!!
*************************************
What a relief it would be to be set free from all that plagues us -- the inner struggle with anger, or contempt, the habitual sins. Is such an experience possible? John Eldredge believes it is, and in THE UTTER RELIEF OF HOLINESS, he shows readers how they can be that free, through the healing work of Christ in their lives. It begins when we discover what the salvation of Jesus Christ means for our own restoration and find that holiness is an expression of the healing of our humanity.
Here is a book that explores the beauty of the genuine goodness available to us in Jesus Christ, and guides the reader through the process whereby God makes us whole and holy by his love. Readers will be relieved. Utterly.
