Why Holiness Matters: We've Lost Our Way--But We Can Find it Again
By
Tyler Braun
Book Summary:
Our generation has little or no regard for holiness. And this makes sense given our misunderstanding
-Sin (we view it as either inevitable or we just go with it)
-Holiness (we view it as unrealistic or we ignore it because there's no immediate payoff)
-Innocence (we view it as subordinate to "experiencing the world")
-God (we often think he'll probably let us down-just like people do).
Instead of playing the "guilt/shame" card, Tyler Braun examines Jesus' example to recognize how His way of life contrasts the world's promises.
If we want to partner with God in this restoration effort there are several areas that merit a closer our history (what we can learn from past values), community (church for a new generation), worship (what God does in us), and art (what making new things looks like).
