Pressures crowd out holy living in the daily experience of many. How real can the spiritual “deeper life” become amid the busy times in which modern man has to exist?
“It is my persuasion,” says Dr. Sidlow Baxter, “that the Bible is trying to say something fresh on the deeply important, sacredly sensitive matter of Christian sanctification.”
This book is an important contribution to the subject in which he first tests the validity of its title, then studies earlier statements and the need for this New Call to Holiness.
This volume proceeds to examine the right approach to Scripture, restating its salient ideas, guarding against the errors which have beguiled others and discussing the plain question ‘ ‘ What is Holiness?”—how and to what extent it can be experienced.
The very extensive range of works quoted, and referred to, eloquently demonstrates that this and the companion volumes, His Deeper Work In Us and Our High Calling, are the product of concentrated study and carefully annotated reading.

These challenging new chapters on Christian holiness are the fruit of long study and reflection. They are of key significance for all Christian leaders today and, indeed, for all Christian believers who would know the real teaching of the Word on the vital subject of personal holiness. y Searching behind and beyond the usual forms of holiness doctrine, Dr. Baxter sets forth what he documents as the fully accurate, consistent teaching of the written Word, arresting and alluring in its uncomplicated simplicity.
“It is my persuasion that the Bible is thing fresh to us again today on the deeply important, sacredly sensitive matter of Christian sanctification; and in these studies I ask the reader to listen with me — to catch the accents of a new call to holiness as that living voice from heaven speaks again through the written Word.”
