When first published in 1858, this transformational book sparked a revival in England and was the foundation for the birth of the Keswick movement. When brought accross the ocean, it sparked a revival in North America as well. Among those it influenced was A. B. Simpson, who went on to start the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Now edited for today's reader and published in a new edition, the Higher Christian Life assures us that the Christian life need not be a continuing cycle of trying and failing but that Christ's power is available for those who take Him by faith as their sanctification as well as their salvation.
