review 1: This book should be required reading for every young adult. DeYoung has a message to share that, I hope, is a wake up call to Christians. God is holy and expects us to be holy. With no hint of legalism or superiority, he thoughtfully shares a balanced view of law and grace. In a day where cheap grace abounds and Christians are reluctant to speak truth for fear they will be labeled intolerant or irrelevant, Kevin Deyoung communicates clearly that we are to pursue holiness as the fruit of our union in Christ. I highlighted half the book! And because I bought the Kindle version, I am now getting a hard copy to have on the shelf. I wish I could buy copies to give away. We can talk all day about how we love God but if we don't keep his commandments we are liars and the truth o... moref God is not in us. I read this aloud with our teens and they were challenged as well.
review 2: A biblical, balanced, straightforward, and practical instruction that's greatly needed in a age were an unhealthy preoccupation with man's "wretchedness" and inability has made any pursuit of "Holiness" seem impossible or somehow divorced from the implications of the Gospel in our lives. Aside from that, I greatly appreciate the dashes of humor and personal experiences DeYoung sprinkles throughout practically in the section "Saints and Sexual Immorality". less
