The Holy Life, edited by Beth Crawford
When we use the term, “the Holy Life,” we mean a life that reflects the character and heart of God. In this series we have addressed issues we struggle with in trying to live in communion with God and in trying to live like Jesus, issues that point to our need for being transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit and our “efforts” to cooperate with Him. We hope that these studies will help stimulate new growth in faith and character so that God’s people may resemble Him more closely as we increasingly share in His divine nature.
