Have you ever stumbled into treasure? At some point in my Christian life, I was introduced to the Puritans and I felt like I stumbled on to great treasure. This devotional will help introduce you to a vast array of puritan theologians.
Warning: This comes with punches of spiritual realities that will lead you to commune with old saints, drive you to repentance and revive your soul. I couldn't agree with Richard Rushing more concerning this book " How thrilling it has been for me to read the Puritans on the glory and attributes of God, divine providence, fellowship with God, holiness of life and the mortification of indwelling sin, heavenly mindedness, prayer, evangelistic zeal, and trust in the Lord during times of affliction. At every turn these truths are eloquently taught, faithfully applied, and kindly offered as the subject of sweet spiritual meditation."
The puritans connected with God in amazing ways and those who want to connect with God in this way recklessly abandon themselves in their writings. Puritans come also with a caution of turning one into deep introspection that can be debilitating to a Christian if not balanced with the fact that we are not only sinners but also saints. For more on this read Trevin Wax's Beware of the Puritans. I would also like to say that as you read these keep in mind that the Puritans also were people who were not perfect.
Overall, this devotional has been greatly helpful to me.
