An attractive early Victorian edition of one of Octavius Winslow's devotional classics. This 1847 second edition explores the person and work of Christ, the believer's union with Him, the life of faith, grace, assurance, sanctification, and the comfort found in the gospel. Written in Winslow's warm, pastoral style, it combines rich biblical exposition with practical application for the Christian life.

Octavius Winslow (1808–1878) was a highly respected evangelical Anglican minister and prolific devotional author. Originally associated with Baptist ministry before joining the Church of England, he became widely known for his deeply Christ-centred preaching and writings. His books have remained in print for generations and continue to be appreciated by readers of Puritan and Reformed devotional literature.
