This book is a clarion call for all Christians to follow their Master’s command and to Be Holy. In the world of today, where holiness is set aside and considered outdated, the vital truth of holy living by the Christian has never been more relevant. Christlikeness produces holiness, and Mr MacDonald stresses its importance as he looks at every area of the Christian life. This book makes compelling and searching reading for those who are serious about obeying The Forgotten Be Holy.
William MacDonald (1917-2007) had, for more than forty years, written directly about the key issues of Christianity. Leaving a promising business career as an employed investment analyst with First National Bank of Boston "at the foot of the Cross", he had traveled worldwide, proclaiming the unsearchable riches of Christ.
His more than over eighty-four works published in North America are characterized by a clarity and economy of words that only comes by a major time investment in the Word of God.
MacDonald graduated with an AB degree from Tufts College (now University) in 1938 and an MBA degree from Harvard Business School in 1940. During the 1940's he was on active duty in the US Navy for five years.
He was President of Emmaus Bible College, a teacher, preacher, and Plymouth Brethren theologian alongside his ministry as a writer. He was a close friend and worker with O.J. Gibson.
MacDonald last resided in California where he was involved in his writing and preaching ministry. He went to be with the Lord in 2007.
Заповедта "Бъдете святи!" не е по желание, а изискване от Господа! Нека да не забравяме какво иска Той от нас, преди ние да сме поискали от Него. Да бъдем святи - това включва всяка една област от жцивота ни без изключения. Нека да търсим Неговата мъдрост при всяко решение, да се обръщаме към Него за всяко нещо и да Му благодарим за милостите, които Той показва към нас всеки ден!
Really really appreciated the earlier half of the book, as Mr. MacDonald consciously takes his time to build up with the reader a Scriptural view of holiness. The remainder of the book is gold as well, but the precious truths regarding Christ and the believer's motivation for holiness were very sweet, and challenging reminders for me.
