About this book

A short book by Scottish minister and scholar Marcus Dods on growing into the likeness of Christ, published in 1909. Dods considers what Christlikeness is and how it is formed in ordinary believers — through fellowship with Christ, obedience, and the slow discipline of daily life. Plain and encouraging, it suits readers who want practical help toward Christian maturity.
