Publisher's Synopsis
The Puritans left a spiritual legacy that put the Christian Church in their debt for centuries.
In this volume are hundreds of quotations from the Puritans and their spiritual heirs over the last 400 years. They had a full and Biblical view of God, and (as the Apostle Peter tells us) they "knew then how they should live." They were spiritual doctors: they were able to study the soul, and apply the necessary medicine, to cure sinners of worldliness and immorality. They had the keys to the glory of God and delighted to show those who were earth-bound the majesty of Heaven. They understood the doctrine, and they also understood the purpose of that doctrine: to know God, and to glorify him and enjoy him forever.
As you ponder their wisdom, pray that you might also be filled with their Spirit - the "manifold witnesses" who beheld the glory of God - and that the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ might change your life in the same way as he did theirs.
