The essays collected in The Spirit of Holiness have all been written in honor of this distinct ministry of Donald S. Whitney. The reader will find a set of essays that, first, articulate how specific saints from the halls of church history...practiced the classical spiritual disciplines and how we can imitate their faith. In the second set of essays, the subjects of providence, sanctification, perseverance, and the local church as the locus of spirituality help the reader to see how spirituality applies to everyday life.
