The Saints Everlasting Rest

Richard Baxter's The Saints' Everlasting Rest (1650) has long been recognized as one of the great classics of Christian devotion, and it is by this book that he is best known. The original work consists of some eight hundred thousand words-a clear example of Baxter's prolific pen-yet in Baxter's own life-time it reached twelve editions! First abridged in 1754 by John Wesley, in the Christian Library, five years later another abridgement was made by Benjamin Fawcett, and innumerable reprints of this have since been issued. The book has also been translated into Welsh, Gaelic, German and French. The purpose of this abridgement, first published in 1962, was to present the work in a form suitable to the modern reader. No change has been made in the text of the passages selected from the original work, and the spirit and language of Baxter have been so preserved that the movement of his thought and style not only remains unimpaired but stands out even more clearly.

Excerpt from The Saints' Everlasting Rest: Or a Treatise of the Blessed State of the Saints in Their Enjoyment of God in GloryYet he had intimate friends, and was himself personally honoured and esteemed by many, in all the denominations. He recognised, as few in his day seemed capable of doing, special excellences in each. His ideal Church would have been a blend of them all; and more than any man that ever lived he laboured long and painfully to bring them all together in the unity of a national Church, which should be a powerful bulwark of Protestantism and a disseminator of the blessings of the Gospel among all the people.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
