DESCRIPTION:
. degree from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. He has also received four honorary degrees and is now serving as the president of Henry Blackaby Ministries. Blackaby is a graduate of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. He has completed his Th.M. Henry Blackaby is the author of over a dozen books, including the bestselling Experiencing God Bible studies
In his worthy book, Blackaby urges believers to look inward, to see sin from God's perspective, and to live the standard that He has set up in Scripture. "If there is anything that characterizes God's people in America today, it is the loss of the fear of God," states Henry Blackaby. When you do not fear God, he contends, you will not fear sin. "True revival can only come," notes Blackaby, "when the people of God return to a healthy, holy fear of Him." God, in His holiness, is grieved by our lack of it. The troubling result of this issue is that many Christians fail to recognize that they have sinned against God. He writes, "The salvation of the nation has little do with Washington or Hollywood - it has to do with the people of God!". The lack of holiness within the Church has reached epidemic levels
Likewise, he admonishes Christians to think seriously about the condition of their own hearts in honoring the name of their spiritual father, God. Blackaby, with great passion, focuses solely upon the need for a church-wide spiritual cleansing. However, the text stalls at certain points, as the author reiterates his premise to make his point yet another time. Still, avid fans of Blackaby's works will be both challenged and instructed by this study on the need for personal holiness. Blackaby cites three primary reasons why today's Christians do not experience the revival they seek: they no longer fear God; cannot see sin from God's perspective; and fail to walk on what Blackaby calls the "highway of holiness." While the majority of Christians may cry out for spiritual revival, most are unwilling to pay the price, says Blackaby, because "revival is like judgment day." Only the stout at heart need apply, fo
You'll be amazed This book is one of those ones that you'll read and read again. Holiness is that great.. "So you really want to be a Christian?" according to L.M.W.. Holiness is a charged word. Many associate it with backwoods ministers and "holy rollers" who take legalism and ignorant religion to the extreme. However, Blackaby strives to help the reader understand holiness as it is in the Bible, from God's perspective. Blackaby presents these three points: today's Christians no longer fear God; they cannot see sin from God's perspective; and t. Elaine said Must Read for All Christians!. Blackaby does not shy away from real issues distracting the western church. He leaves the reader desiring to seek the Lord with a renewed passion and humblity. Revival is necessary and building within America--this book will help fuel that fire! Despite it's deep spiritual content, the book is relatively short and a quick read.
