Customer Reviews

This is a great practical guide to spiritual growth!

Dr Olford's /The Way of Holiness, is bursting with practical Scriptural helps. It's astounding how many great truths this modest little book possesses. The honesty and sincerity of the author easily shines through his words, but Olford doesn't stop there... He urges the reader to explore their realness and to prompt them to action. I full heartedly agree with his explanation - "By the infiltration of a false concept of democracy and worldly government, we have nullified God's purpose in the local congregation. The consequences are that we have created a state of anarchy." Every Christian home should have a copy of this book!

GOD HAS ERECTED SIGN-POSTS FOR OUR OBSERVATION AND HELP

Using the navigation metaphor of sign-posts Stephen Olfordprovides a biblical map to holiness. As the Christian world hasstaggered from one side of the theological interpretation road to the other, it is refreshing to hear a precise yet gentle reminder that Christ calls us to a standard that He alone enables us to attain.For those who struggle with persistent sin, hope will be displayed in each of the pages of "The Way of Holiness." For some who have lost sight of a vibrant faith, spiritual passion will be rekindled. For those who have made the gospel complicated and at points unattainable, this book will sound the clarion call for the deep riches to be found through a life in Christ.In every case readers will discover anew the joys of learning from God's Word, through the eyes of one of the great pulpiteers of this century. -- Dwight (Butch) Maltby, Irving Texas

For Christian wanting to walk with Jesus & make every step

So you're walking with the Lord, but not quite sure where you're going? Sorry, but Triple A doesn't have your itinerary and Rand McNally won't be able to map you a route. That's because you're on The Way of Holiness, and your guide is the Holy Spirit who, if you let Him, will lead you to, through and beyond each signpost of decision that awaits you on your spiritual journey. Don't be fooled. Dr. Stephen F. Olford may have the mind of a theologian, but his pastor's heart allows him to simply define the daily dilemmas of Christian living. Each day we wrestle with sinfulness, forgiveness, holiness, Christ-centeredness, yieldedness, Spirit-fullness, usefulness and readiness. These are the signposts, and The Way of Holiness defines them and offers their solutions.Therein lies the importance of this work. Olford challenges us to first recognize the signposts, and then face each crisis of life with "a step of decision, a stride of devotion, and a sense of direction." This book was written for the believer who desires to walk with Jesus and make every step count.As you read The Way of Holiness, you will also realize the way to walk in the "balanced" power of the Holy Spirit! And this from the man God chose to share the fullness of the Holy Spirit with Billy Graham.He writes, "I found that Billy (Graham) was seeking for more of God with all his heart; and he felt that I could help him. For most of two days we were closeted...with our Bibles open, turning the pages as we studied passages and verses. The first day Billy learned more secrets of the 'quiet time.' The next I expounded the fullness of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer who is willing to bow daily and hourly to the sovereignty of Christ and to the authority of the Word. ...Billy drank it in so avidly that I scarcely realized the heights and depths that his spiritual life had reached already. And Billy Graham said, "This is the turning point in my life; this will revolutionize my ministry."
