Exploring Holiness
Purity a Second Work of Grace
by
William Shiels
preface
This work is an adventure in progress. It's focus is on the questions common to the new convert to Christ. More than that it is somewhat auto biographical. My own transformation throught the death of the carnal nature and the baptism with the Holy Spirit has clearly defined my lifes mission; To preach and teach the doctrine that distinguished "The Great Awakening" .
I believe that only the pure in heart can lead the Church to renewal. My prayer is that you will read the following pages with your mind open to history and the miracle of God's Second Work of Grace.
Acknowledgements:
