Over two decades ago Dr. Sproul published his masterpiece on God's holiness. It could have failed to capture readers’ attention. It could have failed to capture the message of God's glory. It did neither and, instead, exceeded all expectations to become a standard work on the subject. Grover Gardner rolls smoothly through the accessible material, which invites pondering while doing justice to a deep work on a subject often taken for granted. He exhibits the tone of a favorite teacher, reading with rich inflection, and subtly alters his delivery from speaker to speaker instead of attempting different voices or accents, which would sound leaden in a book like this.

OK, the section mentioning the flatulence of Luther cracked me up...but time to get serious...

This book really touched me. Like most Christians my age, I am caught between not quite liking the "stuffiness" of some of my elders' worship context...but not quite buying the contemporary package of the comfortable "fellowship" hall or "business meeting" type church environment, either. Sproul not only addresses cultural relevancy but goes straight to the heart of the matter: a need to see the correct theology of the holiness of God.

I embrace the doctrine of grace with both arms open, but I find too many contemporary churches erring on the side of grace these days & minimalizing God's holiness while making Him an indulgent "grandpa," who just loves us so much that He smiles at our every foolish move. Dr. Sproul does a great job of presenting the God of the Bible --- a HOLY God --- without diminishing His love or grace.

If you fear that any book on God's holiness might be "distant" or legalistic, don't let the title scare you off...Sproul demonstrates that God's holiness is not incompatible with His love and grace, but essential to them! #

A must read... If you need to understand exactly why God allows this world to seemingly spin aimlessly out of control...then listen or read this book!!! You're not alone, me too... #
