By helping us see and understand God more clearly, and by helping us feel more seen and understood. Holier Than Thou by Jackie Hill Perry is a surprising book. As it turns out, God being "holier than thou" is actually the best news in the world, and it’s the key to trusting Him. And that’s exactly what makes Him trustworthy. In these pages, we will see that God is not like us. In Holier Than Thou, Jackie walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of "holy" as we’ve come to know it and revealing it for what it really is: good news. If He can’t sin against you, shouldn’t that make Him the most trustworthy being there is?īestselling author Jackie Hill Perry, in her much-anticipated follow-up to Gay Girl, Good God, helps us find the reason we don’t trust God- we misunderstand His holiness.

Just because you know exactly what you mean when you're communicating doesn't mean your audience will always be able to follow you - you must take care to present contextual information in a way they are able to completely understand and remember.īy using the principles the Heath Brothers explain in this book, you can overcome the Curse of Knowledge and craft an idea that will spread on its own. Not only do these characteristics have explanatory power, you can actually use them to identify your core message and improve its "stickiness" before you spread it. In Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath clearly show that ideas that spread have six common characteristics: they're simple, unexpected, provide concrete details, come from credible sources, have emotional impact, and take the form of stories and anecdotes.
