Holiness Is Not That Complicated: On the Pursuit of Personal Sanctification Through the Principles of Avoidance, Deed, and Grace
In Holiness Is Not That Complicated, Fr. (Dr.) Innocent Okhale Okhifo invites you to rediscover the essence of the Christian life—the calling to holiness. Drawing from his diverse experiences in parts of Africa, Europe, and the U.S., Fr. Okhifo radically challenges the misconceptions that make holiness seem overwhelming or impossible, offering a simple yet profound road map for growth and transformation.
Holiness is not about attaining perfection here and today. It is about responding positively to God’s grace and embracing the process of becoming more and more like Christ. It is not the total absence of weakness and shortcomings but the presence of grace and the willingness to make efforts and grow. Through the principles of ADG—Avoidance, Deed, and Grace—this book offers practical steps to help you live your faith in meaningful ways.
Along the way, you will run into what Fr. Okhifo calls spiritual gas stations—the opportunities for rest and renewal that strengthen you for the journey of holiness. This is more than just a book; it is a call to embrace the life God intends for you. Holiness is not just for an extraordinary few; it is for you. Holiness is not distant, it is not impossible, and it is not that complicated. But it is urgent! God is calling you to holiness today—not tomorrow, not someday, but right now. Take a bold step, read this book, meditate on it prayerfully, and experience the transformative spiritual dynamo contained in this powerful and highly inspired work.
