You have to read this book. The short biographies of the Puritans make you realize real quick how poor of a job we are doing and have done caring for the church and really spur you on to seriously re-evaluate what you are doing to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in your immediate context and reform the Church from the wiles of the evil one.

"Nothing is sweet to me without the enjoyment of Christ in it." -- Thomas Brooks

Yes. It is an excellent book!

If you like the first part on The Puritans, wait till you get to Appendix 2 (page 645) on Scottish Divines!

I am just on Vincent Alsop so I got a ways to go.

Love it! Dr. Beeke is a treasure to the Reformed community of faith.

The greatest enemy to human souls is
the self-righteous spirit which makes
men look to themselves for salvation.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I absolutely love the book! I think I pick it up almost every day to learn about some unknown (to me) Puritan... (and that then usually gets me looking for all their works).
Be prepared to spend more money.

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but
Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by
faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Galatians 2:20

Manton - "The sovereign dominion of God is a great prop to our faith."

Dr. Beeke has singlehandedly made me wish that I could have been born in a time when his seminary would have been an option for me. What a gift to the church!

Mohler...Beeke...Beeke...Mohler...difficult to choose. Godly men, great leaders.

Oh, to me a young man going into the ministry!

Oh to be a younger man who is not two terms from graduation... (that is ok I plan on working on a Th.M at PRTS)...

It is a book that I have recommended often and highly, I still read from it frequently. One of the authors is a member of the PB, btw.

I feel incredibly blessed to be a student at PRTS and I am honoured to study under Dr. Beeke and I feel privileged to know him personally.
