The Way of Holiness: With Notes by the Way; Being a Narrative of Religious Experience
Originally Published in 1849
Next in value to the grace of God in the heart, and to the word of life in which that grace is revealed, is a precious book that throws light on the way of holiness, and, with all the warmth and force of light and love, enters upon the business of leading the soul to God. The reading of such a book is an era in the life of an inquirer after the great salvation. We noted down the above thoughts after an attentive perusal of a little work under the title placed at the head of this article. We regard the reading of this book as an era in the progress of our Christian experience. So it is regarded by numbers who have read it in this place. We recommend it as one of the best books that can be placed in the hands of inquirers after full salvation in Christ. It bears the stamp of no one particular sect! but teaches the way of holiness in truth and love. We wish that those who oppose the doctrine of holiness would read this book, and then ask themselves whether that doctrine, really tends to let down, as has been reported, the standard of the gospel, and whether such a state of experience can originate from dangerous error, or from any other than the Spirit of truth!

This is written almost like journal entries in a first person voice. Phoebe shares about how the people she talked with found holiness, found surrender; and how she herself continued to grow in her walk in holiness. It challenges the reader to a deeper walk, a walk where Jesus is of first importance and that spending time with Him is vital to our holiness walk. We have to know Him to be like Him!

Rough read until the end
Read this book as required for a ministry class. The first several sections are very rough to read as the author writes of herself in the third person, and writes in such a way as to make it difficult to understand. Closer to the end of the book, it switches into a more journal-ish style and is far more enjoyable and understandable.
