| | | Trouble of the Mind and the Disease of Melancholy by Timothy Rogers
After years of trying to obtain it, I finally got a copy of this book today. Has anyone else read it or found it helpful?
If memory serves me correctly Archibald Alexander extensively quotes from it in Thoughts on Religious Experience.

Indeed he does. Chapter IV of Archibald Alexander's Thoughts on Religious Experience is chocked full of nuggetts from Rogers.
I have not read Rogers' work, but from what A.A. quotes of him, I would say it is a most remarkable work.

Okay! I want that book too!

| | | I don't know about Rogers' work, but I have read Richard Baxter on Melancholy - and it is a great read and full of practical counsel!

The real Puritan classic on this subject, imo, is Joseph Symonds, The Case and Cure of A Deserted Soul. Joseph Symonds
Voetius and Hoornbeeck on Spiritual Desertion is also excellent.
Spurgeon often refers to Simon Browne along with Timothy Rogers. Simon Browne | |
