Thomas Brooks, English Puritan (1608 - September 27, 1680), was a minister noted for his piety and his willingness to serve London in the midst of both plague (1665) and fire (1666).
Although little is known about some phases of his life, it has been suggested that he served as a naval chaplain after studying at Emmanuel College. He was ejected from his pulpit in 1662 for nonconformity, but continued to preach without government sanction until 1672 when he was licensed. He is buried at Bunhill Fields. He is the author of Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices; Apples of Gold; The Mute Christian under the Smarting Rod; A String of Pearls; An Ark for All God's Noah's; The Privy Key of Heaven; Heaven on Earth; The Unsearchable Riches of Christ; A Cabinet of Jewels; The Crown and Glory of Christianity, or, Holiness the Only Way to Happiness (58 sermons on Hebrews 12:14); The Golden Key to Open Hidden Treasures; Paradise Opened; A Word in Season; London's Lamentations; The Glorious Day of the Saints' Appearance; God's Delight in the Progress of the Upright; Hypocrites Detected; A Believer's Last Day His Best Day; A Heavenly Cordial; and The Legacy of a Dying Mother, among others.
Many of his works can be found here, here, and here. Quotations from Thomas Brooks More from Thomas Brooks

The writings of Brooks have been a special blessing to me for the last couple of years. Thanks for the post brother.

Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson, Meet the Puritans: Quote: |
We recommend Thomas Brooks highly. He communicates profound truths in a simple manner and is appropriate reading for young people and adults. His writings exude spiritual life and power and are particularly comforting for true believers. If limited to the purchase of a few sets of Puritan works, be sure to buy and read Brooks.
