Holy Is a Four-Letter Word: How to Live a Holy Life in an Unholy World
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Holy Is a Four-Letter Word responds to the need for an accessible and simple articulation of the holy life, and what it means for the collective church as well as for individual believers. This goal is accomplished by taking the fundamental tenets of holiness doctrine and shaping them around twelve four-letter words: (1) Holy, (2) Self, (3) Full, (4) Pure, (5) Will, (6) Mind, (7) Body, (8) Love, (9) Rest, (10) Life, (11) Sent, and (12) Call. Each chapter deals with holy living according to scripture as it pertains to each four-letter word. Setting the concept of holiness against the backdrop of modern (and often profane) media culture accomplishes two objectives: (1) it reveals the relevance and urgency of holy living amongst a super-charged, secular media culture, and (2) defining holy living, first and foremost, by what it is not thereby accentuating “holy” as being set a part for the purposes of God.

"The clear command for holiness conveyed through the Bible is
demanding and intimidating, but it is also a command with great
promise. In Holy Is a Four-Letter Word, we are shown how
this command has daily application in essentially every area of
life. And we rejoice in the promise as we understand that holiness
is not about our accomplishment, but rather what God will
accomplish in us as we draw near to him."
