Is the ancient language of holiness even relevant in the age of Zoom, Twitter and Apps? In fact, who gives a rip about holy living when there are so many things demanding our attention? Zoom, Twitter and Facebook seem far more exciting to explore than this spiritual topic. By the way, what does the term sanctification mean and is it instantaneous or progressive? Is there any relationship between holy living and the image of God? Is this rhythm of grace even possible in this lifetime? These important issues and more will be addressed in this book. Holy living is not reserved for "super saints" or those in monasteries or spiritual "odd-balls," but is achievable in this lifetime. Sanctification in the broadest sense will be explored as various rhythms of grace beginning with the grace that prepares a person to enter into a relationship with the Living Lord and ends with final sanctification or life in the eternal realm. You will discover that the heart of holy living is loving God, ourselves, others and this elegant, natural world. Sanctification also includes the reconfiguration of the shattered and damaged image of God. This lifetime adventure in the Spirit shapes the contours of our lives until we think, act and react more and more like Jesus. As a pastor for thirty-five years and an adjunct religion professor for ten years at a university, this book will enlighten you on the subject. By using testimonies and experiences from my pastoral and teaching years with adult students you will see the practical wisdom of seeking a holy life in the age of digital media. Purchase this book today and travel the road to holy living in a world that offers cheap substitutes for true joy and meaning in life. "In the context of a fascinating and expanding universe of apps, the author outlines the journey of spiritual transformation through six "rhythms of grace." The book clearly and succinctly addresses theological questions for the Christian wanting to mature in her/his faith. A very helpful and needed resource." E. LeBron Fairbanks, DMin. Education Commissioner, Church of the Nazarene, Retired; Mount Vernon Nazarene University, President Emeritus
