This book is about the misguided obsession with the management of
sin that cripples too many Christians. It's about the view that
religion is all about sin...about how to hide side sin or how to
stop sinning all together.
In the Introduction, the author toys good-naturedly with an
agitated caller on his radio program, teasing him in a segment
where he offers three free sins. The offer is real. Not that Steve
has the power to forgive sins, but he wants to make the point that
Jesus has made the offer to cover all of our sins - not just three.
Chapter one, " "titled "Teaching Frogs to Fly," is even better. The
gist of this chapter is that you can't teach frogs to fly, just
like you can't teach people not to sin. Steve tells a story about a
guy who has a frog, and he's convinced he can teach the frog how to
fly. The man keeps throwing the frog up in the air or up against
walls - all to the poor frog's demise. The message is that even
though people can be better, they can never not sin--just like a
frog can never learn to fly, no matter how much pressure is put on
it.
Steve continues" "through the book to show readers that while they
can never manage sin, they can relax in knowing that they are
completely forgiven--not just of three, but of all.
Holiness is a priceless gift from God that most people
never unwrap. In his trademark clear, compassionate
approach, best-selling author Derek Prince reveals the
beauty and power of holiness. He explains that as we seek
holiness, we will understand how deeply our holy God
loves us and be continually drawn closer to Him.
