I am seeking Puritan or Reformed authors and books that deal with the pursuit of holiness, practical godliness and a deeper walk with Christ. I want more experimental power over sins, attitudes and the core inner failures that plague me. Any authors that you may recommend would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Iain Murray replied:<\/p>\n<p>You are asking me a great question &#8211; the question we all need to be pursuing daily, and, however much we attend to it, we will still be so very far short &#8211; &#8216;groaning within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our bodies&#8217; (Rom. 8:23).<\/p>\n<p>One thing I have learned is that the very trials, disappointments, etc. that we face in our lack of personal growth in grace are, in a hidden way, all part of God&#8217;s teaching us. On holiness, there are two main and continuing needs:<\/p>\n<p>1. <i>To grasp the objective truth as it relates to sanctification<\/i>, especially in such chapters as Romans 6. Do you have John Murray&#8217;s <em>Principles of Conduct<\/em>? The chapter on the &#8216;Dynamic&#8217; is very important. Lloyd-Jones expounds it in his <i>Romans 6<\/i><sup><a href=\"#note-1\">1<\/a><\/sup> &#8211; wonderful material though in places, I think, going a little beyond what is warranted. Murray&#8217;s commentary on <em>Romans<\/em> is invaluable for careful accuracy. I would put Owen on the Holy Spirit (<i>Works<\/i>, volumes 3 and 4)<sup><a href=\"#note-2\">2<\/a>, <a href=\"#note-3\">3<\/a><\/sup> in the same category. Faith has to rest on these objective truths: by faith we live, not by feelings. Walter Marshall&#8217;s <em>Gospel Mystery of Sanctification<\/em> is strong in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>2. <i>The transmitting of the objective truths into our daily experience<\/i> &#8211; our duties, self-denial, prayer, care for others, etc. Here so many of the Puritans are strong, as seen in Thomas Brooks&#8217; <i>Works<\/i>, vol. 4, for instance.<sup><a href=\"#note-4\">4<\/a><\/sup> He and others press the conscience but also give the necessary encouragement.<\/p>\n<p>The inculcation of holiness is sometimes presented on an insufficiently evangelical basis, and when that happens we can simply become more burdened. Mind you, there is a type of burden (Romans 7) which is a sign of health, not defeat. Two more suggestions would be A. A. Hodge in his <i>Evangelical Theology<\/i>,<sup><a href=\"#note-5\">5<\/a><\/sup> where there is valuable material on &#8216;Sanctification and Good Works&#8217;, and I am assuming you know J. C. Ryle&#8217;s classic, <em>Holiness<\/em>.<sup><a href=\"#note-6\">6<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>What a comfort for us to know that the Holy Spirit is the personal teacher of every believer and that Christ indwells us and will not leave his work unfinished!<\/p>\n<p>I hope these few thoughts may be of some help.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notes\">\n<h3>Notes<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"note-1\"><div class=\"woocommerce \"><ul class=\"products columns-3\">\n\n\n<div class=\"product-box\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/uk\/store\/sermons-and-expositions\/romans-6\/\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\">  <a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/uk\/store\/sermons-and-expositions\/romans-6\/\" >\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"324\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2013\/06\/Romans-V5-13_02349-DJ_Proof-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Romans 6\" \/>\t       <\/a>\n\n\n  <div class=\"main-info\">\n \u00a0 \u00a0<h2 class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/uk\/store\/sermons-and-expositions\/romans-6\/\" >Romans 6<\/a><\/h2>\n\n    \n      <h3 class=\"subtitle\">Volume 5: The New Man<\/h3>\n\n    \t\t<p class=\"author\"><span>by<\/span>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/uk\/store\/theauthor\/lloyd-jones-d-martyn\/\" rel=\"tag\">Lloyd-Jones, D.
