The process of sanctification is an eminently personal and organic process. It cannot be the subject of a one-size-fits-all formula.
Many popular views attempt to reduce the process of Christian growth to a single model: Remember past grace. Remember your identity in Christ. Use the means of grace. Discipline yourself. But Scripture presents the dynamics of sanctification in a multitude of different ways. How a person is transformed into the image of Christ cannot be explained by any single factor, truth, or protocol.
David Powlison shows us the unique and personal ways in which God intervenes in people's lives, right where they are, in order to transform them. He does this by interweaving real-life stories, biblical teachings and theological reflections. It highlights the great diversity of factors involved in this change, and thus helps us to brush aside the hasty generalizations and ready-made answers that arise when we seek guidance for growing in holiness. This book is an excellent resource for understanding the many facets of the sanctification process – a deeply personal journey that lasts a lifetime.
