THIS SCHMUL PUBLISHING CO. EDITION IS NOT A SCANNED FACSIMILE OF A USED BOOK. It has been carefully typeset and proofread for accuracy and for easier reading by today's readers. Consequently there are no odd characters or missing text.Sheridan Baker was one of the best known revivalists of the nineteenth century, noted for his business acumen coupled with a free-flowing financial liberality. Instrumental in the National Association for the Promotion of Holiness, a highly successful pastor, church planter and college president, he was also a businessman who made and gave away several fortunes. Along the way he found time to prove his worth as an editor and writer. But he was best known for his skill behind the pulpit. Like his spiritual forebear, John Wesley, he deliberately chose his words and styled his sermons to be easily understood by every one of his listeners. In this volume he discusses the life of holiness in practical terms. He delves deeply into the attainment of entire sanctification, warning of the sidetracks that may divert seekers from the true blessing. But he does not stop with a cleansed heart. He urges the sanctified, both the newly purified and the veteran saint, to press forward, to grow in grace. Here is a masterful exposé of the Second Blessing by one who insists we must seek God himself rather than his blessings.
