    Applicable and accessible to all believers

From the inside cover:"The hole in our holiness is that we don't seem to care much about holiness.  Or, at the very least, we don't understand it.  And we all have our reasons for it: Maybe the pursuit of holiness seems legalistic.  Maybe it feels like one more thing to worry about in your already overwhelming life.  Maybe the emphasis on effort in the Christian life appears unspiritual.  Or maybe you've been trying really hard to be holy and it's just not working!  Whatever the case, the problem is clear: too few Christians look like Christ and too many don't seem all that concerned about it.This book is for those of us who are ready to take holiness seriously, ready to be more like Jesus, ready to live in light of the grace that produces godliness.  This is a book about God's power to help us grow in personal holiness and to enjoy the process of transformation."Well, there you have it.  The above text is a better summary of the book than I could ever hope to write.  But, what I can write (as a reviewer) is that, in my opinion, DeYoung accomplished exactly what he intended to accomplish in defining the hole in our holiness.DeYoung begins the book by establishing that there is an enthusiasm gap between what "Christ has saved us from" and "all that Christ has saved us to."  The author says, " Shouldn't those most passionate about the gospel and God's glory also be those most dedicated to the pursuit of holiness?  I worry that there is an enthusiasm gap and no one seems to mind."After the problem is established the book defines what holiness is and is not, unpacks some theology and makes it understandable (union with Christ, definitive and progressive sanctification, indicatives vs. imperatives) and exhorts the reader to holy living.  That is a brief snapshot of the book.I like this book.  A lot.  The message is applicable and accessible to all believers.  It is not only for those in ministry or those who "follow" Kevin DeYoung's blog or those who read dozens of theology books every month.  It is for everyone with a passion for holiness.  And, especially, it is for those where that passion is absent.My reading time in limited to evenings after the children are in the bed, the house is picked up, the homeschool lessons for the next day are planned, etc.  Therefore, I'm very selective about the books that I read.  This one made the cut not only once, but twice. After I finished it I turned to the front and started again.  There was so much scripture that I want to look up and meditate on.The book is not long (146 pages) and the reading is not hard, but it is rich in application so I suggest you read it slowly.  Study questions are included in the back of the book.  I encourage you to put The Hole in Our Holiness on your Amazon wish list!  :-)I received this book free from Crossway in exchange for an honest review.

    Be Holy for I am Holy -- so how do we accomplish that?
  

*by W***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2012*

As DeYoung starts out his book on Holiness he has a basic premise that we will find over and over again in the text.  "The problem of holiness is that we don't really care about it."  That can sum things up pretty well.  According to Scripture God calls us to 'holiness.'  He says to us, Be Holy for I am Holy.  So, if God calls us to that how can we accomplish it?  Can we accomplish it?  Or are we to sinful to even think of accomplishing it?In the first chapter DeYoung points out to us that there is a gap between our love for the Gospel and our love for Godliness.  We say we love the gospel but by our actions we display that we don't particularly care about godliness (holiness).  DeYoung states, "No matter what you profess, if you show disregard for Christ by giving yourself over to sin--impenitently and habitually--then heave is not your home."With that concept in mind there are many people attending church on a weekly basis that heaven is not their home.  They may think it is but it can't be.  Why is that?  I think it is mainly because we don't want to grasp the truths of Scripture and apply them to our lives.  We want to love the Savior but not love His commands.  If you truly love the Savior you will desire to fulfill His commands and you will attempt with all your heart, soul, mind and strength to live a godly life.Given the layout of the book I believe that the reader will discover that the most powerful chapter is chapter six.  "Spirit-powered, Gospel-driven, Faith-fueled Effort."  This chapter alone is worth the price of the book. DeYoung gives us a well articulated chapter on what it means to plug the hole in our holiness and put into action the truths that we have been taught and want to believe can make a difference in us.Bottom line, you can live a godly life with the help of the Holy Spirit.  You can lead a godly life that will show others who God is and how He can take a repentant sinner and turn his life around to be a useful instrument for the Lord to use.This book is for every believer but especially for the believer that is grappling with what it means to live a godly live and to be holy as He is Holy.  Take seriously the call to become part of the Royal Priesthood that Peter talks about in his writings.Enjoy!

    I really loved this book..
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in India on October 20, 2022*

This book helped me to understand why I shouldn't excuse sins in name of grace and God's love, without being harsh on myself. Every chapter takes you to greater understanding on the topic of holiness. My favourite chapter if you ask its "saints and sexual immorality". I will be going back again after hopping on to the next one. I love Kevin DeYoung's way of writing, crystal clear and to the point. Please read it if you haven't already and do suggest it to others.
