This volume brings together articles which all present fundamental doctrinal and practical teachings from the Word of God, concerning the Christian and the church or assembly. They develop subjects often little discussed or poorly understood in Christianity: death with Christ, freedom from sin, walking in newness of life, the baptism with the Holy Spirit, the assembly body of Christ, the unity of the Spirit, the path of the Christian in the midst of the ruin of the church.
F. G. Patterson exercised a discreet but highly appreciated ministry from approximately 1864 to 1884. His simple, clear and concise oral and written teaching was a means of encouragement and edification for many brothers in the faith. It answers many questions and needs of young people. We strongly encourage the dear young brothers to carefully read these articles which will strengthen their soul in its battles and establish their spirit in the truth.
