About This Book

This volume gathers devotional essays and extracts arguing for Christian perfection and a life of continual devotion, urging believers to imitate Christ and maintain a habitual spirit of prayer rather than only external rites. It examines obstacles to holiness, counsels frequent set times of prayer and intercession, and links humility and proper education to spiritual growth. Through illustrative character sketches and practical exhortations about the prudent use of wealth and daily duties, it presents a systematic case for universal love, disciplined devotion, and the pursuit of holiness as attainable aims for Christians in every station.
