| | | Has anyone read "The Life Of God In The Soul Of Man" by Henry Scougal?
I recently got this book by Scougal, however, I'm not very familiar with his works. Just wondering if anyone has read this book or any others by him and what your thoughts are??

See Arnold Dallimore, G eorge Whitefield, The Life and Times of the Great Evangelist of the Eighteenth-Century Revival (Westchester, IL: Cornerstone Books, 1970), Vol. 1, pp. 72ff.

It's quite brief, but well worth the pittance it costs to pick up a copy. I have found in it much encouragement.

I bought it because Piper recommended it. It's number 8 or 9 down my list of books to read this year.

I think it is one of the best books a person can read.
It helps differentiate true Christianity from religiosity and fundamentalism.
It is a real spiritual awakener if you seek God for it.
Give out lots of them to your friends

I read it in one sitting, about 3-4 hours with pause for meditation. It's the type of book you can't get up from until you finish it. It's an amazing book. I love it.

I too was greatly blessed by reading this book. My edition also had excellent introductory materials -- all of it was worth reading in detail and with much prayer. I originally read a borrowed copy, and went out and bought a copy of my own.
I don't know if its just a matter of where I am spiritually at a particular moment, but it seems like I can read some books and receive a great deal of knowledge, and I can read others that prove, while intellectually solid, to be deeply devotional and an encouragement in my walk with God. This work falls in the latter category for me.
