The Heart-Cry of Jesus

"The Heart-Cry of Jesus" by Byron J. Rees is a spiritual exploration from the late 1800s, focusing on the idea of becoming holy and truly fulfilled through faith. Rees talks about how Christians deeply want to connect with God and how living by Jesus's teachings, especially through complete sanctification, can help. The book starts with an introduction that explains why it’s so important, Rees highlights that it’s not enough to just be converted; Christians should strive for a richer spiritual life by being sanctified. He believes grasping and longing for this deeper grace is key to a powerful and meaningful Christian life. Rees urges readers to seek a life-changing meeting with Jesus, which he suggests leads to a life full of power, holiness, and effective service to others.
