Christian, read JC Ryle.
He does not side-step the difficult issues, but takes them head on, making Christian theology and the principles of Holiness seem so simple, obvious and straight-forward that readers will wonder what other Bible truths they\'ve been missing all these years. and that\'s only in the first 5 chapters JC Ryle\'s treatment of the texts which head the chapters is based on plain interpretation, common-sense exegesis and practical application.
JC Ryle addresses hard and trying subjects which most modern evangelicals have chosen to ignore: the power and depth of indwelling sin, the necessity of holiness, the struggle and fight of faith, counting the cost of following Christ...
In a winning, approachable style, he wields the sword of the Spirit like a skillful surgeon, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow.
