Great Works of Christ in America

Cotton Mather (d. 1728) was called "the Lord's remembrancer" for his love of memorializing the first two generations of Puritans in New England. This classic is his magnum opus. If you want to know about the people who founded arguably the most important region in colonial America and you want to learn about them from their own point of view, then this book is a must. But even for the lay Christian who wants to find spiritual lessons for living a committed life, this book is full of such lessons lived out in the lives of real people.
