Help Heavenward: Guidance and Strength for the Christian's Life Journey
ISBN: 9781800403703Admission to heaven is promised and guaranteed to all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ but they all need help to get there.
Sin, suffering, death and Satan obstruct the believer's progress in faith and obedience. But God's grace, his Son's merit and the Spirit's might, all cooperate to direct, uphold, encourage and restore the believer who persevered on the holy pilgrimage.
Help Heavenward, a practical handbook on sanctification with heaven ever in view, is devotional writing at its finest. I know of no better book to give to Christians as they struggle in this sinful world to live in obedience to their Saviour. Use this book to become acquainted with those sacred truths of Scripture that the Spirit uses to mould our thoughts, words, and actions for Christlike living.
Contents: Author: Octavius Winslow (1808-78) was born in Pentonville, a village near London. He was the eighth of thirteen children. Though he grew up in New York, he spent most of his life in England. Winslow was one of the best-known Nonconformist ministers of the 19th century in England, and held pastorates at Leamington Spa, Bath and Brighton. He was one of the preachers at the opening of Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle. Winslow’s many writings include The Work of the Holy Spirit; Help Heavenward; Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in the Soul; No Condemnation in Christ; and Soul-Depths and Soul-Heights. Endorsements: 'Help Heavenward - that is the strength of the Christian life journey. Chapter two of this book is on progressive sanctification - about the only thing I've ever read on it that is well-balanced and makes sense. . . . That alone is worth the price of this book. Winslow is very warmly experiential in all that he writes, and you'll just find, whatever he does . . . meets the needs of the soul.'
