Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The New Testament calls every Christian to live in Christlike holiness. But how is this possible? With the pressures of deadlines, appointments and obligations, how do we develop the character and motives of Christ in our own lives?

"Holiness must not be reserved for a select few of God's people who live above the ordinary..." Mr. Drury writes. "Holiness is for all of us. It is for ordinary people living an ordinary existence...This work of God is for all who desire a life of complete obedience to Christ." The truth of personal holiness "is a message of hope, encouragement and possibility. It marches into your life, saying, 'You can do it. You can be Christlike, with God's help.'"

Mr. Drury explains how every Christian can live in spiritual victory. He presents clear biblical insights and deals with the obstacles that confront Christians in their everyday spiritual lives.

Holiness for Ordinary People illustrates personal holiness with practical truths from the Bible to inspire readers to experience the lifechange that holiness brings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally in a language I can understand, February 21, 2001

This review is from: Holiness for Ordinary People: Student Book (Hardcover)

Most books on the Weslyan view of Holiness are so complicated that even someone with a graduate degree (like me) has trouble understanding what the author is saying.

Drury does a wonderful job a putting a complicated concept into language that any Christian can understand.

This review is from: Holiness for Ordinary People (Paperback)

We did a study with this book in my Sunday School class. Although, not written as a study book, it provides a lot of thought provoking material for discussion. It outlines the steps leading to total commitment to God (Santification)in understandable terms. It has moved me, at least a step, closer to what shold be the goal of every Christian.
