The Certainties of Faith

1903 was a good year for Phineas Bresee, and also God's people. In this year, his church in Los Angeles moved into a proper facility across town, and also began an aggressive move toward church planting. It was from this year forward that the Church of the Nazarene began to grow into what it was later to become.

This book is a collection of sermons from that year. It is a unique look into the life of Bresee, and also provides a snapshot of the holiness movement at the turn of the twentieth century.
