Holiness Truth and the Presence of God 16 reviews
Francis Frangipane
Morningstar Publications (NC), 1991
Intimacy, not religion, is the key
This book challenged me in a major way. The gist of the book is that seeking after God is the reason for our existence and for victory in our lives. It relates how we substitute other things for what is important, an intimate relationship with Almighty God. From this intimacy with God springs holiness and victory. Power is not found in religion, doctrine, knowledge or anything other than ...

Humility,: The beauty of holiness36 reviews
Andrew Murray
REVELL, 1974
I Never Understood Humility Until Now
I have read about humility in books, including the bible for over twenty years. I have searched for what it means to be a humble person, as I always interpreted it as being a doormat. Andrew Murray talks about humility using the life of Christ as our perfect example in such a simple way. I can now apply these very simple principles to my everyday life and I feel free.
I also love and ...

Absolute Surrender18 reviews
Andrew Murray
Whitaker House, 1981
A Favorite
Right up there near Brother Lawrence's "The Practice of the Presence of God" (free online at the Practice Gods Presence web site) are the wonderful works of Andrew Murray. "Absolute Surrender" is a classic in every sense.
These gifted children of God have a way of restating, enlivening, and magnifying the very words of Our Lord and do greatly glorify Our Father.

The Holiness of God58 reviews
R. C. Sproul
Ligonier Ministries, 2006
This is flat out good stuff...
I told someone recently that I was reading The Holiness of God by Sproul and they looked at me like I was an alien. They responded with surprise that I had not read it and went on to rave about the book. Sometimes books get a bit too much pub and then don't live up to the hype; however, this book is not one of them. The Holiness of God is classic Sproul and it is a much needed message for the ...

Respectable Sins

Holiness16 reviews
J. C. Ryle
Trafalgar Square, 1997
A must read for the devoted Christian
Holiness, by J. C. Ryle is the best book on Christian living I have read to date. In an age of easy-believism that talks of a gospel free from a commitment to God, this book shows what it takes to have a satisfying and saving relationship with Christ in the way that the Scriptures teach. As the work of sancitification is largely ignored on the bookshelves of Christian libraries, this is a much ...

The Pursuit of Holiness36 reviews
Jerry Bridges
Navpress Publishing Group, 1996
Fantastic Study
Jerry Bridges is insightful and penetrating in his writing. He is easy to understand and gets to the heart of the matter. I used this in conjunction with the companion study book. This really helped me put into action the principles he discusses. It's well worth your time.

Sacred Marriage70 reviews
Gary L. Thomas
Zondervan, 2000
Very Biblical!
My wife and I have gone through the first chapter and answered all the study questions. We both loved it! After doing the first chapter I feel that the principles so far are very biblical. The way Gary Thomas explains marriage helping us become more Christ like is very comparable to the way the Bible explains how trials and tribulations are used to strengthen us, if we allow it. If you are ...

Kiril Sokoloff
The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2005
A Powerful Tome. Should be read by everyone
Kiril Sokoloff's Powerful story of his life and the tribulations he has gone through to achieve peace with himself, is one of the most awsome books I have ever read.
It should be required reading for anyone looking for more meaning in his life, I for one am sending it to my four children.
It can not fail to help anyone who is fortunate enough to read it.
What a terrific and inspiring ...

The Heart of Motherhood: Finding Holiness in the Catholic Home10 reviews
Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle
The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2006
Excellent & Beautiful book for all Catholic Mothers
I've read MANY books about being Catholic, being a Mom & being a Catholic Mom...but none of them have touched my heart & mind the way this one did. It was SO common sense about how to weave our Catholicity into our daily lives when there are children at our feet before 5 AM (when it's near impossible to get up before them to pray...even if we really, really want to) and at night, we just pass ...

How to See Yourself As You Really Are13 reviews
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Atria, 2006
Great for beginners or anyone
As a beginner in Buddhism, this was the first Buddhist book that I read. Before reading this, I had heard of many ways of Buddhist thought through small online writings, but His Holiness' 'How to See Yourself As You Really Are' truly helped me to gain a more meaningful understanding of impermanence, dependent arising, and compassion.
I suggest anyone new to Buddhism and still confused read this ...

Walking in Victory: Experiencing the power of your identity in Christ15 reviews
Dennis McCallum
Xenos Publishing, 2002
Secondary companion to one of the Bible's favorite teachings
I really like this author's body of work. I've read all his non-fiction. He's very objective and can sound a little bit like notes from a lecture. But it is also emotionally productive, without the bells and whistles, unlike many Christian authors, and has genuine feeling and vulerability to appeal to anyone's subjective sensibilities. This book is my favorite from this author. He wrote that ...

A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life11 reviews
Treasures Media Inc., 2007
Very Timely
wow - what an inspirational, hard-hitting, right on read this has been. I'm still in the process of reading it but I already love it. This should be required reading for all Christians. Then perhaps the church would live differently than the world and perhaps we'd have less scandal.
So far I can see that there needs to be a balance. One could easily tend towards legalism and a ...

My Land and My People: The Original Autobiography of His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet11 reviews
The Dalai Lama
Warner Books, 1997
An Amazing Story
Having long been a fan of the Dalai Lama and his other books, I was anxious to read his autobiography. It is an amazing story that he has to tell. We should hope that our world had evolved beyond invasions after World War II, but that proved not to be true when China invaded Tibet and eventually ousted the ruling party in 1959.
Having been previously familiar with the story of the exile of ...

The Mortification of Sin (Puritan Paperbacks)11 reviews
John Owen
Banner of Truth, 2004
If it is not real what good is it?!!
If there is no delivering power from sin's control in your life. If there is no reality of Christ in your life.... what good is your Gospel? This book reveals how God, through the cross, can bring power into your life, if you want it. If you are sick of powerless empty Christianity and desire the cross to be applied to your heart unto freedom, here it is. Get it and share it!! Expect great ...

The Fire of His Holiness11 reviews
Scataglini Sergio
Renew, 1999
Every Christian should read this book!
If you are hungry for a deeper walk with God you MUST read this book. The author describes in the first chapter a manifestation of the Holy Spirit that changed his life. He proceeds to exhort the reader to pursue this "FIRE" in their own lives and gives a wealth of material to help you get there. The key is that we serve a holy God that requires for us to also be holy, but holiness is not a ...

Under the Unpredictable Plant: An Exploration in Vocational Holiness10 reviews
Eugene H. Peterson
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1994
Read THIS Quote!!!!
"Parish glamorization is ecclesiastical pornography -- taking photographs (skillfully airbrushed) or drawing pictures of congregations that are without spot or wrinkle, the shapes that a few parishes have for a few short years. These provocatively posed pictures are devoid of personal relationships. The pictures excite a lust for domination, for gratification, for uninvolved and impersonal ...
