Thomas a Kempis · 236 pages

Jerry Bridges, Foster W. Cline, Jim Fay · 161 pages
Holiness : the Christian's joint venture with God. God's command is, "Be holy, for I am holy." But as victims of sin's "guerilla warfare," Christians are often prone to give up the fight, or at least to compromise with sin in its more difficult forms.
