Product Overview
What is holiness? Can we really be holy in God’s sight? If so, how and when can we be holy – in this life or the next? What does a holy lifestyle look like?
What are God’s expectations of sanctified people? Can holiness be experienced only in isolation? Is holiness simply a matter of following the rules of our religious denominations?
This introduction to Christian holiness helps you explore these vital questions and many more, either on your own or in a discussion group.
Through a series of biblical reflections from both Old and New Testaments, anecdotes, activities and probing questions, you are invited to encounter God in fresh ways. You can step up to new levels in your relationship with God – and with others.
The fourth volume in The Stairways Series – a set of teaching books designed to help Christians rise to higher levels in their relationships with God and others. The Publisher
