How can I grow in Christian maturity and become more like the Lord Jesus?
This is a question all believers need to ask ourselves at regular intervals. The writings of the Puritans are trustworthy guides for this adventure, and we should be grateful to all who make these rich storehouses of wisdom more accessible to modern readers, making the mature reflection on Scriptural truths digestible to those of us who complain of lack of time and intellectual stamina to tackle the original texts.
So, thank you, Tim Chester, for putting together this anthology of the fruit of meditation on Biblical truth from brothers and sisters who have gone on before: truth internalised and made useful for daily life, transcribed into modern English usage.
Those who have enjoyed and benefitted from the The Valley of Vision, a collection of Puritan prayers and devotions, will find an additional source of delight here. The compact format and attractive hardback cover, good-quality paper and a useful ribbon page marker make this a very acceptable present for anyone with an interest in the inner life.
