![]() ![]() That said, I can see how a different reader might appreciate a less figurative style of writing.Įither way, it becomes quickly evident as one reads that this is a book about God, and it cuts straight to the heart with reflections grounded in and supported by the Word and written in conversation with the work of Christian scholars like A.W. As a reader and writer who pays particular attention to how ideas are framed and articulated, this was exciting for me (which also explains my love for Charles Spurgeon’s writing style) and there were very few times I felt they distracted from the message, if at all. Having listened to Jackie speak over the years, I am aware of the value she places on how things are written and said, and so it was no surprise to see the lyrical and poetic quality that her language is marked by. I am at once stunned by all I didn’t know, in awe of the nature of our God, and so greatly enlightened with a new understanding of what it means to be loved by a God who is holy and how this new knowledge of Him ought to radically impart my living, my choices, my passions as a child of God. ![]() Because I am only now dipping my toes in Christian literature (I waited too long, I know), Jackie Hill Perry’s Holier Than Thou, is the first book I’ve read on God’s holiness, next to the Bible, that is. ![]()
