The Higher Christian Life, 150th Anniversary Edition by William Boardman Pdf
The Higher Christian Life provides a Biblical and Trinitarian exposition of the deeper level of conversion. This second conversion is also called entire sanctification or full consecration through faith in Jesus. Filled with real-life examples of dedicated Christians, this book reveals what the second conversion means, how it is attained, and its progress and power. This special edition commemorates the 150th anniversary of its original publication.
Some books are transformational. They spark change that affects generations. When first published in 1858, this book sparked a revival in England, and was a foundation for the birth of the Keswick movement. When brought across the ocean, it sparked a revival in North America as well.

Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ... for that which is not bread, and his labor for the wages of disappointment. Now, to illustrate these by-ways one by one, each by a life-sketch, would be easy, aud not without interest and profit; but it would require a volume almost. There are those who have tried nearly every byway of them all, -- run each out, in turn, to the bitter end of disappointment, before finally going to Jesus as the Way. One such would give us a complete chart of them all in the single sketch of his own blunderings. Such a one is at hand. THE PASTOR. He is no blunderer either in other matters. Few more careful or wise or discreet than he. Abundant success in his pastoral works shows that. And yet he calls himself--as we shall have occasion to see in the end, in view of the Jong succession of blunders he made, in his efforts to learn the way of sanctification experimentally -- a fool. How and when and where he was convinced is not at all essential to our chart. Possibly it may have been in connection with a very delightful work amongst the students of another of our theological seminaries. Such a work there was; and in it many of the young gentlemen came to see and understand the way of sanctification by faith, and to be filled with the Holy Spirit; and the pastor knew much of this work, and commended it publicly. It would be a glorious thing, if, from year to year, each and all of our schools of the prophets could be baptized in this way. Possibly it was the conscious leanness of his own soul which made him hunger and thirst for the precious things of God. Not that he was not a devoted Christian and minister; there was no apparent lack of this kind; indeed, he was far more than most others a faithful, earnest, tender, thorough pastor and preacher. And, ...
The Higher Christian Life by William Edwin Boardman Pdf
William E. Boardman's famous and inspirational book has for generations helped Christians lead better and purer lives steeped in trust of God. Structured as a practical guidebook, we are taken through a step-by-step process of attaining the higher plane. Early in the book, Boardman expresses his dislike for the term 'faith', which he believes has become overused in many different spiritual contexts. Instead, he prefers the term 'trust' as a simpler, clearer way of illustrating a believer's devotional strength and closeness to God. For Boardman, one must persist in a belief and adherence to God for a long time in order to culminate this trust. The initial conversion is but the first step in a longer journey: the practice of the good Christian and avoidance of sin is necessary for an extended time, whereby the believer may undergo a 'Second Conversion' which heightens their experience of the Lord Jesus Christ. The author spent much of his life as a Presbyterian minister, working in both the USA and England. The publication of this book, which met with great approval from believers far and wide, ignited the Higher Life movement. This encouraged Christians to seek a second encounter with the Lord following their initial conversion to Christianity, and in this differed from the more traditional teaching of Christian perfection.

Excerpt: ... have exchanged her place for any other, and her mistress actually came to her to ask what had happened, and became an earnest inquirer through her beautiful transformation. Beloved, let us take the joy of the Lord into the dark places and the hard places and the low places, and the dusty, grimy streets and lanes of life! Let us plant the flowers around the little cottage as well as the great mansion! Let us have the song of the birds along the wayside, and even in the night, as well as in the gilded cage of the drawingroom and in the broad sunshine of the day! Let us rejoice in the light evermore and go through the pathways of common life so filled with the Spirit that like men intoxicated with the wine of heaven, we shall be heard "speaking to ourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in our hearts to the Lord," and then it shall be true, "Whatsoever we do in word or deed," we shall "do all in the name of the Lord Jesus givingthanks unto God by Him." 2. The joy of the Lord is our strength for the trials of life. There are two ways of bearing a trial; the one is the spirit of stoical endurance, and the other through the counteracting forces of a holy and victorious joy. It was thus that Christ endured the cross for the joy that was set before Him, and then He could despise the shame and not even allow the smell of fire to remain upon His garments. We read in the first chapter of Colossians the prayer of the apostle for a company of saints who had already reached such a measure of holiness that they were made partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; but there was something higher and better for them, namely, that they should be ' strengthened according to His glorious power unto all patience and...
