Reviews and Comments for SANCTIFICATION, a New Beginning, a New Life

 

"This book is excellent! Easy to read, a good study, but most of all-the convicting power of the Holy Spirit from beginning to end. Thank you so much for writing this book. For such a time as this....I'm going to use it with my daily devotions."

(Dee Glendenning, Katy, Texas)

“Over the years I’ve read many Christian authors and teachers and have never seen anyone pull together scriptural truth on the steps of sanctification as Johnston does. It reads like a novel but will serve as a daily devotional. It’s a must have for Christian libraries.”

Doug Mills, Friendswood, Texas

BOOK REVIEW

“Sanctification” by Robert Johnston is a rich study based on a passage from 1 Peter chapter three verses one through seven. Johnston presents a broad definition of sanctification as the work of God’s grace in man’s perfection in righteousness as progressive beginning when he becomes a “partaker” of the divine nature. This progression takes the new believer on a spiritual journey with Jesus walking a path of sanctification from infancy through maturity.

Comparing scriptures from the Old and New Testament Johnston provides the reader with God’s plan and expectations for the Christian to simply submit to the Holy Spirit’s teaching of the scriptures from newness of life to completeness and perfection as mature believers, being conformed to the image and character of Christ.

An important feature of the book is a comprehensive appendix which includes a listing of over 100 conditional promises of God and a listing of more than 100 unconditional promises of God.

Johnston’s writing is personal, realistic, and Biblical. His writing is sound and fervent. Johnston’s book “Sanctification” clears up much of the mystery and confusion of an often overlooked important tenant of the Christian faith.

Richard Blake, Reviewer, Bridgman, Michigan

“Robert Johnston includes in the Appendix of Sanctification, A New Beginning, A New Life, 101 conditional promises of God and 102 unconditional promises of God. These lists provide a springboard for daily Bible study for the newborn Christian as well as the “mature” Christian. This book is a roadmap for all Christians as we understand the steps we must take to reach sanctification and is a must read no matter where you are in your spiritual walk.

“This is one of those books that are hard to put down once you’ve started. Sometimes we think when we accept Jesus Christ as savior, we are required to do nothing else. Johnston shows us through the word of God “a New Life”, the path of sanctification. I particularly liked chapter six, “Perseverance” – We must complete the task God has called us to do, our roots grow deeper and we must persevere at all costs.
