The messages in this book were delivered as lectures in the annual Gould Lecture Series at Eastern Nazarene College. Previously much of the material was used in lectures given at Pasadena College, Cascade College, and in our own chapel at Northwest Nazarene College. In response to the requests of Dr. J. Glenn Gould, the sponsor of the Gould Lectures, and many others the messages are presented in printed form.

It was a great blessing to associate with the leaders and groups on the various campuses. I claim no credit for originality but have tried in these messages to pass on to others some of the truths learned by reading, observation, and in experiences in the various aspects of life. It is my sincere hope that the publication of these messages will make a contribution to the literature of the cause of holiness and help many believers to become more firmly established in the faith.
