Description
There is an unacceptable gap between our love for the gospel and our love for godliness. Put another way, we are more anxious to bring people to Christ that encourage a matured Christlikeness in those who do believe. To put a spotlight on holiness is not mere pietism or mechanical legalism or rigid fundamentalism. It’s the essential and enabled way of the intended Christian life. We who belong to Christ are called to become Christlike, to be holy as God is holy. This book is an examination of what is means to be holy.

Hear well this potent prophetic voice! Callen calls Christian leaders to receive and live Christian holiness, being contemporary by reflecting life in Christ by his Holy Spirit.
Carla Sunberg, a General Superintendent, Church of the Nazarene –
Fresh articulations of holiness always have helped bring about spiritual revival. This is a serious tackling of the central issues that dare not be ignored today. Thank you, Dr. Callen!
Dan Schafer, President, World Gospel Mission –
Here’s urgency and hope about a critical issue facing churches today. Pastors, teachers, and laypersons need biblical guidance for exploring a deeper walk with the Lord.
Roger J. Green, Salvation Army, Professor Emeritus, Gordon College –
Explained clearly in these pages are the personal and social dimensions of Christian holiness, joined for the sake of the world’s crying needs!
Ronald V. Duncan, Executive Director, the Global Wesleyan Alliance –
The church is searching for fresh biblical truth to provide insight and direction. Dr. Callen has brought just that. Every Christian should be on this journey of “Holiness.”
Don Thorsen, Chair, Theology and Ethics, Azusa Pacific University –
Holiness is essential to God’s nature and the kind of Christians God wants. Love is the core and Callen helps us know how best to understand and live it in all of life.
