Book Description
This book was written due to the authors desire to spread the good news that God, the Holy Spirit, can and will raise up a blessed and holy people. The book presents a challenge to people to be transparent about what they are seeking and extends the invitation to risk all in order to experience a love relationship with Jesus and freedom in Christ. It addresses questions like: What is holiness? What is a transformed life? Does holiness really exist as an individual experience? The book reiterates that holiness is a synergistic commitment between God and an individual.

Book Description
Adolf Koberle's 'The Quest for Holiness' is a significant contribution to world religious literature and a work of abiding value. As such it well deserves translation into the English language and widespread distribution among English language readers. Although written by a profound scholar, this book is not merely for theologians but for all who desire a sound, scriptural setting forth of the truths and the implications for each individual embodied in the steps of justification and sanctification. For simplicity, clarity, and completeness on this subject, this book is unsurpassed. It is written not merely with ink but with the lifeblood of the true believer striving daily for greater holiness and God-pleasing perfection.

Book Description
The growing scholarly attention in recent years to the religious world of late antiquity has focused new attention on the quest for holiness by the strange, compelling, often obscure early Christian monks known as the desert fathers. Yet until now, little attention has been given to one of the most vital dimensions of their spirituality: their astute, penetrating interpretation of Scripture. Rooted in solitude, cultivated in an atmosphere of silence, oriented toward the practical appropriation of the sacred texts, the desert fathers' hermeneutic profoundly shaped every aspect of their lives and became a significant part of their legacy. This book explores the setting within which the early monastic movement emerged, the interpretive process at the center of the desert fathers' quest for holiness, and the intricate patterns of meaning woven into their words and their lives.

Book Description
"There was a time," writes renowned theologian J. I. Packer in this classic book on biblical holiness, "when all Christians laid great emphasis on God's call to holiness. But how different it is today! To listen to our sermons and to read the books we write, and then to watch the zany, worldly, quarrelsome way we behave, you would never imagine that once the highway of holiness was clearly marked out for Bible-believers." In this revised and updated edition of Rediscovering Holiness, the highway is once more clearly marked out for a new generation of readers, pointing to true freedom and joy, both now and in eternity.

Book Description
This book is about a quest. It is about the most important quest of our lives. It is the soul's quest for God. The quest is for the wellspring of life, for the taste of the sweetness of honey in our mouths, and for the divine light that alone can illumine our darkest chambers--from back cover

Book Description
Holiness is a work of disarming simplicity, yet in not simplistic. It recognizes and respects the complexities, struggles, and rationalizations inside our hearts, even as it challenges us to greater depth of soul. It's a profound book-deceptively so because of its accessible language-that introduces us to what's deep inside the wells of our ancient spiritual traditions, and allow to what's deep inside the multiple crevasses layering our own hearts.
