Have you ever wondered how you can make real spiritual progress as a Christian? Have you wanted to know how you might better defeat nagging sins, and find new freedom? Sanctification: A User’s Guide to Becoming More Like Jesus offers you a deep understanding of precisely how you can grow in likeness to Jesus Christ. Based upon a careful study of the teachings of the Bible, and great leaders of the Reformation, Sanctification presents a clear and compelling approach to daily practices which will actually assist the Christian in spiritual growth through relying on the grace of God to transform them. Starting with a framework for understanding what holiness is, Sanctification shows you how to: desire holiness, rely on God’s grace, apprehend God’s life-altering love, grow in faith and repentance, deny one’s self, and engage the church. While many books on sanctification emphasize one or two aspects of the Christian’s growth in holiness Sanctification presents a complete approach to a biblical lifestyle which helps one grow more like Christ. "This is an excellent guide to sanctification, built on a solid foundation of biblical and Reformed theology and with a strong practical bent. . . . Warmly commended for those serious about growing in grace." --Tony Lane, London School of Theology "As a seasoned pastor called of God to shepherd the people of God, my friend, Tom, wisely and winsomely lays out how we as sheep can grow to become more like and more in love with Jesus, the Lamb of God! Every powerful principle on every page will draw your heart irresistibly to our Great Shepherd." --Perry Bowers, Focused Living Ministries, Columbia, South Carolina " Sanctification is a deeply theological and biblically accurate explanation of the ongoing ministry of Christ and the Spirit in reshaping and transforming those in Christ. Tom is consumed with a high view of God and a passionate desire to make his grace understood and applied. If you want more than the pop books on the Christian life, I highly recommend this one." --Tom Wood, Church Multiplication Ministries, Inc., and coauthor of Gospel Coach "This practical, helpful guide to sanctification is a goldmine of biblical teaching and the wisdom of the ages. It is both encouraging and convicting--the perfect recipe for growing in Christlikeness." --William Barcley, Sovereign Grace Presbyterian Church, Charlotte, North Carolina "'Pursue holiness without which no man shall see the Lord.' This glorious gospel command, enabled by the gospel-empowered life, revealing the vitality of our relationship with Christ, motivating the believer to put to death the old man daily while embracing the new life in Christ as a new creation, has been marvelously unfolded by our author, Dr. Thomas Hawkes--from Scripture and history." --Harry Reeder, Briarwood Presbyterian PCA, Birmingham, Alabama Thomas D. Hawkes is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church of America, who, over more than forty years of ministry, has helped leaders in the local church, parachurch, and seminary grow in Christlikeness. Most recently he served as the founding senior pastor of Uptown Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.
