Synopsis

Do You Recognize Holiness in Your Own Life and in the Here and Now?

These days, brokenness feels more comfortable to discuss than holiness. It’s easier to say that we are messy than holy, that healing is a long way off. To say that we are holy seems like one step away from holier than thou, and no one ever wants to be that.

Holiness Here offers practical and inspiring ways to transform your life by helping you see the holiness within your ordinary, everyday life. Holiness is a warm invitation to a new and better way to live a calling for our lives in Scripture a search that marks the life of a Christian (even when we don’t live fully into that reality) a most basic urge―to live and love differently that we did before―because what we believe changes the way we act As a fellow pilgrim on the journey, Karen Stiller weaves together captivating stories, theological insights, and spiritual reflections to help you discover holiness in the mundane moments of your life. With her engaging style and accessible voice, Karen invites you to embark on a journey of spiritual growth, discipleship, and wisdom. You will explore holiness from a fresh perspective, from the importance of community and the role of the church to ways to cultivate a deeper relationship with God and live out your faith. Karen also explores topics like the fruit of the Spirit, money and work, hospitality, and humility.

Read on your own or with a group, Holiness Here is a rich spiritual formation and discipleship resource that will inspire you to seek out the beauty and wonder of a holy life.

It's not very often that I finish reading a book and immediately want to turn it over and start at the beginning again. But this is one. Reading Karen's book feels like sitting in your favourite cozy chair with a cup of tea, while talking to a dear, wise friend. In this book, Karen takes what can at......more

Goodreads review by Tim

Holiness Here is a gentle, earthy book about holy living—a life both amiable and attainable, nothing whatsoever to do with being holier-than-thou. Holiness, Stiller writes, has an everydayness to it.
