Excerpt from Holiness, or the Higher Christian Life In these scriptures are embodied our reasons for appear ing thus prominently before the church in defence of what we conceive to be important truth. Obedience to duty, therefore, and not any desire to pro voke controversy, impels us to an humble effort to meet some of the objections entertained by many pious Christians to the doctrine of Holiness, or the Higher Christian Life, believing that many of those objections, though honestly entertained, would disappear, before a proper understand ing of the subject. Notwithstanding the many aids furnished to a correct understanding of the doctrine of holiness, multitudes mis apprehend its true nature. Opinions are formed from terms and technicalities, not from a careful analysis of the facts represented by those terms, thus leading to the belief that more is claimed by the advocates of this doctrine than the truth warrants.

This book lays out the requirements and difficulties that will come with the pursuit of holiness in our Christian lives. Ryle starts out with the way to achieve holiness and the difficulties that arise with pursuing a holy life, and then going throughout the Bible giving true examples of the cost of holiness and the rewards it brings as the Bible promises us. To often we sing and pray for such a life without being willing to undergo the necessary life changes and adjustments to get there. This book lays out what we can expect in such a journey and what God will ask of each of us to get us to the point He wants us to be.

Excerpt from Holiness in Christ It seeks further to declare clearly the glorious, effectual work of Christ in the salvation of souls, and to show the rightful heritage to the Holy Estate of every true believer in Christ, having been saved by a living faith in Christ. It is hoped that every reader of the book will allow the contents of the book to be used by the Holy Ghost to let Him lead the individual to the deep truths of Holiness in Christ.
