A Holy Life—The Beauty of Christianity

In this book, Bunyan makes a sincere and impassioned plea that those who profess the name of Christ would live out their faith. The editor, George Offor, called this work "the most searching treatise that has ever fallen under our notice" and made this appeal to the reader, "Meditate and ponder over this faithful little work. If accompanied by the Divine blessing, it will test your faith and practice in the crucible and by the fire of God's word. It is intended to turn your spirit inside out...It exhibits sin in all its hideous deformity, stript of its masquerade and disguises; so that it appears, what it really is, the great enemy to human happiness. It is calculated to stir up our pure minds to incessant vigilance, lest we should wander upon tempting, but forbidden paths; and be caught by Giant Despair, to become the object of his cruelty in Doubting Castle."
