God says, “Be holy, because I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16).
In a world of “you do you,” “live your truth,” “to each his own,” and various other self-promoting slogans, how can Christians live holy lives—lives set apart and pleasing to God?
Daniel Seabaugh turns to the Bible for answers while sharing personal stories and practical tips from his own pursuit of holiness.

In the late ‘70s, holiness became a hot topic. Preachers were preaching about it, and writers were writing about it. Then it seems the church moved on. But should we ever move on from something so central to the nature of God? I thank God that Daniel Seabaugh has gone countercultural on us. He tells us things every Christian should know—important, foundational material. My hope for the readers of this book is that holiness becomes core to their Christian identity and takes greater prominence in their lives as they join the unending hymn before the throne, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, Almighty!”

We’re so accustomed to the media encouraging us to live for ourselves that the message becomes white noise. But that noise affects us in more ways than we realize. I’m thankful Daniel has written A Heart of Holiness to sing the song of wisdom, a song more biblical and beautiful than the banality of self. Make sure you read to the end of the book, because I found the last chapters on aging and death particularly challenging and encouraging. I’m sure others will, too.

What does it mean to live a holy life? Daniel Seabaugh has given us a wholistic primer on the Christian life. Accessible to believers of all ages and stages, A Heart of Holiness keeps the gospel central, exalts Christ, and turns our hearts to Scripture again and again.
Glenna Marshall, author of The Promise is His Presence, Everyday Faithfulness, and Memorizing Scripture
If there were ever a time when Christians needed clear, biblical, grace-saturated teaching on what it means to live a holy life, it is now. In these pages, Daniel Seabaugh has given us a great gift as he instructs us in what it means and looks like to humbly and joyfully walk in holiness before our holy God. I am confident you will be greatly helped and encouraged as you soak in the truth and wisdom found in this little book. I will be recommending A Heart of Holiness to people for years to come.
