Dare to be different – be what you are!

A life of holiness

This material has been prepared for seminars on holiness and is meant as an introduction to the vast subject of holiness. When writing, I have had people with an active involvement in The Salvation Army in mind. 
However, as long as the readers are aware of this, I believe that the material will be interesting for all people longing for holiness. 

As well as quoting great heroes of the faith, I have tried to share from my own journey with the Spirit – it is all about Him!

As with everything else in the Spiritual world – what is written will only be ‘letters’ if the Spirit does not bring them to life (1). It is my prayer that this will happen. Without the Spirit we are just like other men. With the Spirit, we are different. We should dare to be what we are in Christ.

May God bless you as we travel on this spiritual journey together!
