Holiness: It's Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties and Roots J. C. Ryle

[UNABRIDGED] John Charles Ryle, most famously known as the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool, was a man whose spiritual knowledge could scarcely be found today. A student of Scripture and a man of prayer, he came to know God intimately. He was described as having a commanding presence, and vigorous in advocating his principles, albeit with a warm disposition. In this work, "Holiness," like all his other writings, his style is simple, bold and direct, cutting quickly to the heart of a matter. It is this commitment to speaking the truth plainly that has distinguished his writings, and shown them to have lasting power, even to distant centuries. "This book, above any other, has engendered the greatest growth in my Christian life apart from the Bible itself." - Rev. Daniel J. Clausen Founder, Codex Spiritualis Press
