One admirable property of [<em>The Christian&#8217;s Great Interest<\/em>] is that, while it guides, it purifies.&#8217; &#8212; THOMAS CHALMERS<\/p>\n<h2>Book Description<\/h2>\n<p>All of Guthrie&#8217;s teaching and pastoral experience were poured into <em>The Christian&#8217;s Great Interest<\/em> &#8211; his only book. The remarkable fact that is has gone through more than eighty editions and been translated into several languages testifies to its value. This book describes in a clear and attractive style what it means to be a Christian, and how to become one.<\/p>\n<p>This book is all about Christ: the Christian&#8217;s great interest should be Christ; the unbeliever needs to develop an interest in Christ. It describes in a simple, clear, and attractive style what it means to be a Christian, and how to become one.<\/p>\n<p>Preaching on Revelation 22:2, C. H. Spurgeon once said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>our Lord Jesus Christ is life from the dead, and life to his own living people. He is All-in-All to them. And by him and by him, alone, must their spiritual life be maintained&#8230;Jesus Christ is a Tree of Life and we shall so speak of him in the hope that some may come and pluck of the fruit and eat and live forever. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This too, is Guthrie&#8217;s purpose. In the first part, he looks at how someone is drawn to Christ, what the evidences are of true saving grace, and the difference between a true Christian and a hypocrite. In the second part he describes how to &#8216;close&#8217; with Christ, and deals with various objections, difficulties, and doubts.<\/p>\n<h3>Rhett Dodson on<em>The Christian&#8217;s Great
