It is interesting to observe that the Wesleyan revival from its outset emphasized the importance of literature. John Wesley financed and personally distributed thousands of pieces of printed matter.

Down through the years there has been no lack of holiness literature in books, pamphlets, and periodicals. It should be so. There never can be an oversupply. The field never will be saturated. The work of indoctrination and propagation must depend largely upon the printed page.

The ramifications of holiness are limited only by life itself. There is no phase of life, no corner or cranny of human experience into which holiness does not fit. In writing this book Dr. Chapman has proceeded from that very premise. He starts with his own experience, from which he goes on to comment on the prerequisites of holiness. Then he defines and differentiates holiness. Next he proves that the experience is obtainable and then points the way to get it.

The progression carries on to the application of the experience to all of life, to evangelism, to the workaday problems of everyday living, and to the Second Coming. Following this the "Holiness Catechism" anticipates just about every intelligent question that might arise in the mind of any sincere inquirer.

Holiness is an essential doctrine. It fits us for living, for death, and for heaven. It operates on the core of our nature and affects the outmost reach of our influence. The book is rightly named Holiness, the HEART of Christian Experience.

We predict that it will have the wide and effective ministry which it richly deserves.
