This book is a classic work on spiritual revival and the sanctified life in Christ. Roy Hession, with simple and direct language, explains that the main obstacle in a person’s spiritual growth is the “self” and “self-centeredness”—barriers that can be broken only through humility, honest confession, and reliance on God’s grace. He emphasizes that the way of the Cross—the path of humility and brokenness—is the true route to experiencing God’s presence and receiving renewed strength from the Holy Spirit. Throughout the book, Hession shares real examples and accounts of spiritual revivals, showing that Christian peace, freedom, and joy are realized when a person stops defending the self and fully surrenders to God’s work. It is not only an instructional book but a practical invitation to a new way of life—a life in which the breaking of the self opens the door to love, humility, and genuine fellowship with Christ and with others.
