This book offers a critical understanding of the interface between holiness and intercession. The author reflectively narrates some of the selected biblical personalities and how holy living was exemplified in their interceding for others. Critically, the book argues that holiness in its intrinsic nature is about intercession for others. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, holiness is all about intercession, as has been ably demonstrated in this book starting with Abraham, Moses, David, and Solomon and going all the way to Jesus Christ, who sits on the right hand of God interceding for us.
“What is our human identity and calling? In today’s global crisis this is an urgent question. Through a fresh study of key figures in the biblical narrative, this book invites us to discover our spiritual calling through radical openness to God and prayerful commitment to others. I highly recommend it for reading, reflection, and action.”
