If God is holy, then He can’t sin. If God can’t sin, then He can’t sin against you. If He can’t sin against you, shouldn’t that make Him the most trustworthy being there is?
 
Bestselling author Jackie Hill Perry, in her much anticipated follow-up to Gay Girl, Good God, helps us find the reason we don’t trust God— we misunderstand His holiness.
 
In Holier Than Thou, Jackie walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of “holy” as we’ve come to know it and revealing it for what it really is: good news. In these pages, we will see that God is not like us. He is different. He is holy. And that’s exactly what makes Him trustworthy. As it turns out, God being “holier than thou” is actually the best news in the world, and it’s the key to trusting Him.

Review

In a world consumed with self-discovery, self-absorption, and self-worship, the people of God need regular reminders to lift our eyes to a higher Object than this earthly plane can offer. Jackie brings to bear her prodigious gift with words on the Bible’s message of God’s transcendent holiness. She offers us not just a God worthy of our worship, but of our complete trust and obedience.
—Jen Wilkin, Author and Bible Teacher

Art and theology have met.  Many times reading theology can feel so impersonal that many people view it as irrelevant.  However, when art and theology meet, we get the Psalms, Parables, Prophets, and more.  I'm glad that this generational voice is a symphonic blend of the sorts. Holier Than Thou is a must read. Many in this generation and beyond may find this work as a gateway into theology and more importantly to understanding the holiness of God and their call to reflect it in and through Jesus Christ.
—Dr. Eric M. Mason, Lead Pastor of Epiphany Fellowship Church

Holier Than Thou by Jackie Hill Perry is a surprising book. It doesn’t scold us into holiness. It lifts us into holiness. How? By helping us see and understand God more clearly, and by helping us feel more seen and understood. Jackie’s book helped me. It can help you too. 
—Ray Ortlund, Renewal Ministries, Nashville

Too often—and to our dismay—we try to be holy apart from knowing Him who is holy. Holier than Thou by Jackie Hill Perry offers an awe-inspiring view of God as she invites us to celebrate the goodness, majesty, and glory of God’s holiness in all of his justice, righteousness, and purity. With biblical wisdom and theological insight, Jackie turns our gaze upon the beauty of the Lord in his holiness—faithfully reminding us that by beholding, we believe, and so we become.
—Melissa Kruger, author and director of Women’s Initiatives for The Gospel Coalition

What attracts us to God? When asked this question, our answer typically revolves around His love toward us. What offends us about God? Here our answer usually centers on His holiness and how we don’t measure up. "Holy"—this feels grand yet intimidating, doesn't it? Awesome yet terrifying. Impressive, yet inaccessible. Pictures of God's holiness have been painted with brush strokes too broad. They capture the grandeur of the house, but leave off the finer details such as the WELCOME mat out front. Jackie paints with a much finer brush. She helps us understand that while God’s holiness is connected to His justice and His righteous anger against sin, it is also connected to so much more than that—it is meant to draw us closer. Holiness is attractive and inviting. And Jackie doesn’t just tell us, she shows us. She uses a finer brush to paint a more nuanced and beautiful picture of the holiness of God. Every page and paragraph sings about the beauty of what "holy" means—which is rare for books in this genre. My heart is full knowing that this work will find a home in the canon of other great books written about the holiness of God. It is the missing puzzle piece in works on this topic.
—John Onwuchekwa pastor of Cornerstone Church, Co-Director the Crete Collective, Co-founder Portrait Coffee

The is such a beautiful read. It's beautifully written. Jackie, is intentional with her pin. My oh my, can you hear the heart and voice of God, within every word, every line of every sentence. I have cried, and questioned my understanding of God's Holiness. As the Holy Spirit identifies the gaps in my understanding, HE directs me, to me. My understanding is flawed because I am flawed.... God the Father is not, he is not a human being, which means HE IS THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY BEING! Jackie says, "If God can't sin, then HE can't sin against me"! Jackie reveals compassion and mercy is not post Jesus, it is pre Jesus too, God's compassionate is seen and given in both the New and Old Testament. This book is for all, it's applicable to all. No matter where you are in your walk with God. This book will lead you into the arms of your Father. You will experience a new depth of intimacy with him, fully trusting of HIM, and his love for you.

To my dear sister Jackie, we may never meet, face to face but I want you to know you have blessed me beyond words.

Thank you for your obedience and courage to write what you wanted to read. You have touched many💕💕

I love Jackie and her podcast, so I finally decided to give her book a read. I’m SO HAPPY I did!!!! It’s so insightful and makes me think about God and the Trinity in a different way. I’ve had to pause multiple times to meditate on her words. I recommend this to everyone now! I’ll probably gift mine to someone once I finish the book. Thank you Jackie for sharing your wisdom and love for the Lord. (:

5.0 out of 5 stars Weighty, profound and beautiful.
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book has been such a gift and a pleasure. So many incredible truths about the Holy Spirit are highlighted in a way I have yet to encounter before and the subsequent transformation of my understanding of the Holiness of God and how it alters and transfigures our lives has me shook.

This book is written in a style very similar to the way JHP speaks, so if you are like me and have seen/watched MANY of her messages and interviews, reading and listening to this book comes pretty smoothly. BUT, similarly to how she speaks, it can come across very substantial and at times academic, so it takes some sentence/paragraph re-reading and digesting. This is not a negative though, because of the topic matter (the Holiness of God) which is in and of itself weighty, profound, thought-provoking, and hard at times to comprehend.

I just finished and immediately want to go back and take notes.

Thank you Jackie. I had to read this book in stages. It’s so deep, so descriptive and full of raw authentic truth. Sprinkled with some ah-ah moments.
There are portions I hear your voice explaining.
I’ve always wondered about that ‘cup’ Jesus had to drink. Now I get to it. He “ drained it to the dregs”.
You have brought me a bit closer than before to understanding how holy is my God is - and yet not close enough. None of us will ever with our sinful human mind fully understand His holiness.
Thank you for bringing me and your readers a tad closer.

This book is written as a message from God to His children to be like Christ. There were many moments in the book that I was touched by the Spirit. It helped me to see clear about what God desires from us. We already know this message from the Bible. The way this message is presented in this book was refreshing. So thankful that Jacky has given the talent from God to give words to His teachings. Glory to Him!
