Holiness (Ryle - EP paperback)

Author: J. C. Ryle

ISBN: 9781783970162

Binding: paperback

Section: Christianity-General

In this classic collection of soul nourishing essays, as relevant and helpful today as when first published in 1877, Ryle endeavours, 'by God's help, to examine what true holiness is, and the reason why it is so needful'. The first part of the book examines the doctrine of holiness, from sin and sanctification, to holiness, our fight for personal holiness, what it costs to be a true Christian, growth in grace, and how a lack of holiness often leads to lack of assurance. In the second part Ryle gives warmly drawn instruction from scriptural characters, such as Moses, Lot, Lot's wife, the dying thief, and the Lord himself.
