Steps into the Blessed Life: Sermons on Christian Living - Moral, Practical and Biblical (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781789874846)

F. B. Meyer gifts Christian believers with this guidance on attaining spiritual union with God, by being virtuous and achieving victory over sin and wrongdoing.

Drawing upon the Bible and the life of Christ as a wellspring of spiritual knowledge, Meyer instructs the reader on becoming a better and more effective Christian, living true to the example set by Jesus. Drawing on the inner strength conferred by the timeless Holy Spirit, practicing virtuous deeds and enshrining a moral code in one's day-to-day behavior are two qualities of the Christians seeking to live the blessed life. Being honest with oneself about wrongheadedness and character flaws, and taking action to correct these, is likewise vital.

Meyer frequently quotes passages of scripture, in particular the New Testament, to clarify the guidance given. Writing with the clearheaded and reverential style he was famous for in life, the books he wrote - be they guides for believers or Biblical biographies - remain resonant in modern times. He worked as a Baptist pastor educating thousands of believers, and channeled that experience of working with and spiritually guiding ordinary Christian people into his many written works.
