The Utter Relief of Holiness
How God's Goodness Frees Us from Everything That Plagues Us - by John Eldredge
What a relief it would be to be set free from all that plagues us -- the inner struggle with anger, or contempt, the habitual sins. Is such an experience possible?
John Eldredge believes it is, and in THE UTTER RELIEF OF HOLINESS, he shows readers how they can be that free, through the healing work of Christ in their lives. It begins when we discover what the salvation of Jesus Christ means for our own restoration and find that holiness is an expression of the healing of our humanity.
Here is a book that explores the beauty of the genuine goodness available to us in Jesus Christ, and guides the reader through the process whereby God makes us whole and holy by his love. Readers will be relieved. Utterly. Retail price is $19.00. Only $5.00 until inventory is gone.

God has promised to deal justly with mankind. God’s covenant blessings and covenant curses relate directly to those who hear and obey His voice, or don’t hear and obey his voice (Deut. 28). These promises are extensive and touch every area of our lives either lifting us up or destroying us, and they are re-affirmed to us through Jesus Christ: “As many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us” (2 Cor. 1:20).
What a scary concept, that religious leaders are not going to make it to heaven! Here is what Jesus said: "For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 5:20).
Two things come to mind: 1) I don't want to be a Pharisee; 2) I don't want to be shepherded by a Pharisee.
