Perfect Love - Kevin Watson - Recovering Methodism’s Lost Power
06/24/21 • 59 min
Many people in Wesleyan-holiness denominations have been looking for a clear, theologically focused book on holiness. Kevin Watson’s new book Perfect Love scratches that itch. I LOVED THIS CONVERSATION with Kevin and I think you will too.
You can find a link to Kevin's new book here.
I had the privilege of writing an endorsement for this book, here’s what I said:
With passion, clarity, and focus Kevin Watson yearns for the broad Methodist movement to experience, preach, and claim an infusion of perfect love—holiness. Watson’s scholarly grounding and pastoral focus remind me of salvationist Samuel L. Brengle. I will be recommending Perfect Love for the rest of my life.
—Captain Dr. Andy Miller III, Area Commander and Pastor The Salvation Army, Tampa, Florida
Also, I helped Seedbed connect with THE GENERAL of The Salvation Army and here’s what he said.
Phrases like entire sanctification, full salvation, holiness, and second blessing of holiness reminds me of a personal call to which I respond in the affirmative. I applaud a clear call to awaken ourselves to the blessing and gift of entire sanctification and I celebrate not simply a link to a tradition of teaching but a real experience that does translate into hope and healing . . . from the uttermost to the uttermost.
—General Brian Peddle The Salvation Army International, London, England, UK
Do you know you can still access all of my past interviews with people like Tim Tennent, Horst Schulze, General Peddle, Tony Dungy, Israel Gaither, and more than 50 others? Check that out here.
