Christians generally recognize the need to live a holy, or sanctified, life. But they differ on what sanctification is and how it is achieved. Five Views on Sanctification brings together in one easy-to-understand volume five major Protestant views on sanctification. Writing from a solid evangelical stance, each author describes and defends his own understanding of the doctrine, and responds as well to the views of the other authors.

Inspiring words of Christian affirmation for every day of the year. Gathered from Hannah Whitall Smith's journals, lost inspiration books and unpublished letters, this enriching volume collects her best devotional passages, as Christian mediations that both enlighten and inspire. "In our different understandings of God's Book, we are all like people climbing up a high mountain to see the view," she tells us. "The man at the foot of the mountain, who has just begun to climb, will have a very limited view—but as the mountain is climbed, stretch after stretch of the landscape will unfold to his wondering eyes." Wherever you find yourself on your climb up the mountain of faith, Hannah Whitall Smith's deeply inspiring book will help you climb even higher—toward the profound, unshakable knowledge that, whatever may happen to you, God's unbounding love is always available and is truly enough.
