The Utter Relief of Holiness - Review & Giveaway

 *** Giveaway Now Closed ***

Congratulations to coleycoupons!

I have a new book that just released on January 8th to tell you about - The Utter Relief of Holiness: How God's Goodness Frees Us from Everything that Plagues Us written by John Eldredge.  When I first opened this book, I really wasn't sure what to expect.  And I have to tell you, this book is great!  Now, not everyone might think so, at least not at first.  I think this book has parts of it that can speak to you right away, and then there are parts that weave themselves into your thoughts, actions, prayers, etc.  If you are familiar with the novel or movie Kite Runner, you will understand the saying, "There is a way to be good again."  Eldredge threads this quote and idea throughout this book and the concept of holiness.

I absolutely love the way that Eldredge uses scripture.  He uses biblical stories in every chapter to complete his thoughts and ideas.  He also uses real life examples - people who struggle with inappropriate responses to traffic, those who lie, promiscuity, etc.  And I like that he pauses to ask the reader, what they are repenting of?  Without repentance is holiness really being taken seriously?
