Purkiser, W.T. - These Earthen Vessels

[Joel Merrill]

I was just digging through my books and I found this one. I am not good at writing reviews and I cannot do this book justice. It is a book I bought at camp meeting years ago. It did more to help me understand holiness, especially in relation to our humanness, than any other book or message I have read or heard. It is a short book, only 117 pages, and it is written in common everyday language that is easy to understand. I highly recommend it to the young Christian who is starting to explore the holiness doctrine or anyone who is struggling with understanding it.

I never liked giving book reports when I was a kid in school. That was mostly because I had to read books that didn't interest me and I didn't want to read. In high school I had to write a report on an American classic that was so bad I could finish it. (I can't spell the name in the title) In my report I wrote that it was the most boring book I ever read and that I didn't know how it became a classic. I said in my report that I would gladly take an "F" not to have to finish it. The teacher said at least I was honest and gave me a "D".

Joel, I think if you would do a little digging on info about this author, he has written some Bible textbooks also.

The back cover of the book tells about him. I hadn't read any of his other books but I had heard of him. I like his writing style. He is a great communicator.

I just saw a typo and I can't edit it. I meant to say that that American classic book was so boring that I "could not" finnish it.

I should add that this book is out of print but you can still find it on used books sites. I have bought several on Amazon.com. You may have to narrow your search down if you go to Amazon. Start with the "Religious" books category and then go to "Christian" books and type in the name and you will find it. It is really a shame that a good book like this is out of print.
