In Search of the Holy, Workbook Edition (Paperback)

In Search of the Holy, Workbook Edition is your interactive companion to the bestselling book by Shane L. Bishop. This write-in workbook invites you not just to read about holy living, but to step into it—reflecting, responding, and recording your own journey.

Designed for both personal reflection and group study, each of the entries includes thought-provoking questions, guided prompts, and plenty of space to write. Whether you’re journaling on your own or discussing with friends, the workbook helps you move from inspiration to transformation.

At Invite, we believe books are more than words on a page—they’re tools for spiritual formation. That’s why we’ve created this edition: to help you engage more deeply and live more fully in Christ.

In Search of the Holy paints a picture of a full and complete life—a life that lives up to our craziest childhood dreams.

But rather than freewheeling pursuit of some individual ideal, the hero life comes from an old concept, freshly relevant again today, called “holiness.” 

When a lot of regular people think about being “holy”, they think about keeping the Ten Commandments. But the Ten Commandments are impossible. If the self-proclaimed holy rollers can’t keep God’s commandments, regular people don’t have a chance. 

The good news is that in the Bible, being “holy” doesn’t mean being pious or “good enough.” It means to be “set apart for a special purpose”. The antonym not profane or obscene; it is “ordinary.” 

And we don’t get there by following a set of rules, but by following the One who was there when the rules were written, Jesus. What makes life exciting is who we worship, what we believe, and how we live—all of these are connected. Following Jesus turns life from ordinary to extraordinary as His love and grace change us from the inside out.
