Book Description
What is the Christian’s relationship with God’s Law? He has been set free from its condemnation; but is he still under the moral law as a rule of life? Or is he free to live as he pleases? Is holiness an optional extra?
No Holiness, No Heaven! answers these and other questions in a clear and popular fashion. It is written out of a deep concern at some trends in current Christian teaching and practice, especially the inroads of lawlessness into the life of the church. Written for every Christian, it also provides guidance for those who wish to study these issues in greater detail.

Richard L Nichols –
This is a most excellent book on the relationship between the Law and the Gospel. It is written from a desire to protect the flock of God from the false teaching of antinomianism and help Christians to find the joy of obedience to the Law of God. We don’t keep the law for our justification, but for our sanctification.
