"The health of the church depends on embracing the reality of God's holiness," Tom Trevethan writes early in the pages of this passionate book.

We live in times when it is easy to have an allergic reaction to God's holiness. These are times of secularism, relativism and subjectivism. Little wonder, then, that we find distasteful God's unrivaled majesty, sovereignty and goodness.

In a book that is at once a manifesto and a devotional guide, Trevethan vividly reminds us that holiness is an essential characteristic of the biblical Lord. He carefully describes the true shape of God's majesty, then devotes several chapters to life before the Holy One--living as if God really is the center of all creation.

Like few other books recently written, The Beauty of God's Holiness wakes readers from spiritual slumber and uncages the living God so often domesticated in our time.
