, 1857

Overview

Initially writing to a personal friend, Phoebe Palmer then expanded and published Entire Devotion to God in numerous editions. She encourages and counsels the reader about Christian holiness, maintaining “holiness as the great leading doctrine of the Bible, rather than as a doctrine peculiar to any sect.” She notes that her “simple aim is to bring up with freshness, and describe in scriptural phraseology—‘The way the holy prophets went’—the way that has been trodden by the truly devoted of all ages and of every evangelical sect.” She includes illustrations from various individuals in the ministry and laity as she discusses the call to be Christ-like in Scripture.
