Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25). The Holy Spirit empowers us, guides us, and enables us to grow and endure in our relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ. Often the most misunderstood member of the Trinity, the person of the Spirit continues to attract attention today amidst church revivals and renewals. In this new edition of his classic Keep in Step with the Spirit, J. I. Packer seeks to help Christians reaffirm the biblical call to holiness and the Spirit s role in keeping our covenant with God. Packer guides us through the riches and depth of the Spirit s work, assesses versions of holiness and the charismatic life, and shows how Christ must always be at the centre of true Spirit-led ministry. A new chapter explores Christian assurance. With abiding relevance and significance, Keep in Step with the Spirit sets forth vital knowledge for healthy and joyous Christian living, through understanding and experience of God the Holy Spirit. Here is a book for every serious believer to read and re-read.

Christians generally recognize the need to live a holy, or sanctified, life. But they differ on what sanctification is and how it is achieved. How does one achieve sanctification in this life? How much success in sanctification is possible? Is a crisis experience following one's conversion normal--or necessary? If so, what kind of experience, and how is it verified? Five Views on Sanctification--part of the Counterpoints series--brings together in one easy-to-understand volume five major Protestant views on sanctification: Wesleyan View – represented by Melvin E. Dieter Reformed View – represented by Anthony A. Hoekema Pentecostal View – represented by Stanley M. Horton Keswick View – represented by J. Robertson McQuilkin Augustinian-Dispensationalism View – represented by John F. Walvoord Writing from a solid evangelical stance, each author describes and defends his own understanding of the doctrine sanctification and then responds to the views of the other authors. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

The most difficult venture that you will ever encounter is the pursuit for holiness and sanctification, and the most important thing I learned is that walking in holiness and sanctification requires us to be willing to set ourselves apart from worldly lust and desires so that we can be used by God. You may find yourself crying many days and having sleepless nights on your pilgrimage through holiness and sanctification. The pathway has its difficulties beginning with SELF .Occasionally, you will feel as though you are being pulled apart and literally broken into many pieces during this unique sanctifying process. Come; let us go on an expedition of this pathway to holiness and sanctification.

Have you ever wondered how you can make real spiritual progress as a Christian? Have you wanted to know how you might better defeat nagging sins, and find new freedom? Sanctification: A User's Guide to Becoming More Like Jesus offers you a deep understanding of precisely how you can grow in likeness to Jesus Christ. Based upon a careful study of the teachings of the Bible, and great leaders of the Reformation, Sanctification presents a clear and compelling approach to daily practices which will actually assist the Christian in spiritual growth through relying on the grace of God to transform them. Starting with a framework for understanding what holiness is, Sanctification shows you how to: desire holiness, rely on God's grace, apprehend God's life-altering love, grow in faith and repentance, deny one's self, and engage the church. While many books on sanctification emphasize one or two aspects of the Christian's growth in holiness Sanctification presents a complete approach to a biblical lifestyle which helps one grow more like Christ.

This bible study is perfect for individuals or groups. It is a timeless subject in the format of practical, experiential theology for growing and struggling Christians. The main focus is "identification truths" (crucified with Christ, dead to self, and alive in resurrection power), in the form of lessons on how these become a reality in a believer's life through faith. There are ample Scripture verses to support conclusions, with an emphasis on brokenness as the prerequisite to experience the fullness of grace. Most believers try to hide their weakness, instead of embracing it, as the source of abiding in Christ as their strength. The book chronicles the author's own wilderness experience, and her resulting freedom. Overcoming the clinical depression that gripped her involved learning to deal with cumulative stress; but more importantly, claiming the principles set forth in this study regarding the battle of the flesh against the Spirit!
