Some of the quotes mentioned in the review:

“Right views of sin have a tendency to lead us to right views of the Person of the Savior.” - p. 32 

“Even one sin makes peace flee from the soul, as we see in the case of Adam and Eve. Even one sin fills the soul with suspicions of God and suggestions of fear.” - p. 46 

“Go on, my dear brother, and be bold in the great mystery of God become man.” - p. 62 

“Looking much to Jesus in His person, we instinctively (so to speak) copy what we see. Indeed, real holiness is simply the ‘Imitation of Christ,’ after He has washed us, and in the depth of His atoning grace left us without guilt.” - p. 68 

“If, believer, you love much that Person of whom we have all along in these pages been speaking, then press on to the day of His coming, for then it is you are to get Him in His fullest glory.” - p. 84
