Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in the Soul

By Octavius Winslow

Book Overview

Octavius Winslow was one of the foremost evangelical preachers of the 19th Century. His deeply Christ-centered works exhibit his love, wisdom, and pastoral excellence. Richly devotional,--they warm the soul and fan the flames of holiness with sincere love, and praise to the Lord. Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in the Soul deals with the Christian who finds that his heart has cooled to the things of God. We all experience dry periods in which our feelings become dull and our obedience wains. Winslow deals realistically with exposing the reasons for our declension in love for the Lord and gives us practical, godly advice to revive our souls to new love for Him. This classic volume is of enormous value to all Christians.

A jewel of spiritual comfort

This classic dramatically improved my understanding of sanctification. PDRRS is a jewel of spiritual comfort. While the title is long, the message is simple: there are specific, correctable reasons for why we are experiencing "ups and downs" in our devotion to Christ. Winslow is a doctor well trained to diagnose and prescribe scriptural treatments. Though sometimes hard to swallow, these truth are coated in the pastor's knowledgeable tenderness and are therefore received more sweetly. Highly recommended.

Wonderful book!

This is a tremendous book for any and every Christian, whether you think you're backslidden or not. It contains gems and nuggets of sheer comfort and exposition of the love of Jesus Christ for His people on every page. I've read tons of Christian literature and have never found anything quite like this. If I were trapped on a desert island, the Bible and "Personal Declension" by Octavius Winslow would be the first two books I would want with me. If you're so inclined, buy it and read it. You will be blessed!

What a HELPFUL and CONVICTING book!!

I was really backsliding and the Lord used this book in such a magnificent way to bring me back to Himself. In a deeply searching manner, Winslow points out the causes for backsliding and the remedies in Christ. Many paragraphs are so piercing that you just have to stop and pray over them and ask for God to search your heart. Anyone who senses that they are growing lukewarm in their walk with the Lord should seriously read through this book and I know God will bless them enormously! I'm also reading Life in Jesus by the same author (a biography on his mother Mary Winslow) and it is wonderful!
