Pilgrim Soldier

If you want to read one book on Holiness but can’t face the thought of reading Brengle or Coutts or even Wesley, then my suggestion would be ‘the uprising’ by Olivia Munn and Captain Stephen Court.

It is, quite simply, the best book on the subject that I’ve ever read, and I’ve not even finished it yet! The chapters are short and snappy and at the end of each are some quesitons you can work through to ask yourself or in a cell-group!

Some of my favourite bits so far are:

“…what needs to change is our view of normality. Normal humanity is looking out for yourself. Normal Christianity is living for the good of others, and doing anything for Jesus.”

“The holiness to which God calls us and for which he empowers us includes a perfection of intention and motivation that makes us blameless.”

“unless the Bride of Christ is holy, no one else in the world will meet the Lord. Without our holiness, they won’t see the Lord.”

The above are just a taster, to read more you’ll have to get the book yourself!

By the way, Stephen, if you don’t already know, blogs over at the armybarmy blog and Olivia does the same on her own blog.

The book is published by Australia Southern territory of The Salvation Army and should be available from wherever you buy your TSA stuff.
