Standards of Life and Service

"Standards of Life and Service" by Commissioner T. H. Howard is a compilation of spiritual talks from Holiness Meetings in the early 1900s, which teaches readers about being holy, becoming pure in spirit, and shows them how to live as Christians in real life. The book shares the idea that Christians are committed to doing what is right and having a pure heart. It helps people match their lives with what God wants for them, explaining that holiness isn't just a choice but something God asks for, calling every Christian to live a holy life. The author makes it clear that following God's call for holiness is important, teaching the difference between only dreaming of being holy and working hard to achieve it through faith. All the way through the beginning of the book, readers feel a need to connect what they believe with how they live each day, understanding that moving toward holiness is both a gift and a task.
