Holy Ground

Many people in our churches are weighed down by expectations God never placed on them - the belief that holiness means never failing, that God only uses the flawless, that grace runs out where our mistakes begin.Holy Ground tells a different story. From Moses to the empty tomb to the Sabbath rest God built into creation and the resurrection hope that awaits every believer, this book traces one thread through Scripture: God doesn’t wait for us to become holy before He draws near. He draws near, and holiness follows.This book walks through the character of a holy God, the loss and restoration of holiness in a fallen world, the difference between perfection and belonging, the sleep of death, and the sure hope of resurrection. This is not a book for people who have it all together. It’s a book for the broken, the weary, and the willing - for anyone ready to take off their sandals and discover that the ground beneath them has been holy all along.Dr. Larry D.
