What can account for the revival of interest in the Puritans today? Perhaps it is that they were strongest where the church today is weakest. As Lewis observes, the Puritans employed themselves in the great business of godliness, so as to bring a God-exalting and gospel-saturated approach to all things. They were indeed physicians of the soul who were strongly characterized by personal piety, sound doctrine, and the pursuit of a well ordered church life.

The Genius of Puritanism

Taking his theme from 2 Corinthians 11:2, Edward Pearse discusses the blessed marriage that exists between believers and Christ. He shows what makes Christ the perfect Bridegroom and how it is that God accomplishes this grand espousal. This is a work of great spiritual value, charged with experiential vitality and liberally sprinkled with gospel exhortations. Read and see that there is no better match for your soul than Jesus.

The Best Match or The Soul's Espousal to Christ

Edward Pearse

In this book, America’s greatest theologian explains one of Christianity’s most important subjects—the believer’s standing in grace. Edwards gives his usual thorough treatment as he examines the difference between common grace and saving grace, demonstrates the nature and qualities of saving grace, and emphasizes how a principle of grace is from the Spirit of God. Edwards also deals extensively and insightfully with the issue of the Holy Spirit as it relates to standing in grace. 
This work was first published in 1865 by Alexander Grosart under the title, A Treatise on Grace, and was included as part of Selections from the Unpublished Writings of Jonathan Edwards. This new edition is retypeset and edited for easier reading.

Standing in Grace

This booklet, taken from a series of sermons on Psalm 51:1 7, confronts the grim reality that our children are shaped in iniquity and conceived in sin. With pastoral care and compassion, Arthur Hildersham counsels Christian parents to pray that the corrupt nature they have conveyed to their children will be healed and that the Holy Spirit would work saving grace in their hearts. He motivates us to pursue our children s spiritual welfare by reminding us of the duties we have toward our children, the comfort it will have on our own souls, and the glory it will bring to God. Discussing the God-given means to cultivate the gospel in the hearts of our children, he encourages us to maintain our authority as parents, instruct them in God s Word, set a good example with our own lives, make sure influences upon them from outside the home are godly, and give ourselves diligently to prayer. Here is an encouraging message, providing guidance and hope for those concerned for the souls of their children.

Dealing with Sin in Our Children

This compilation of sermons contains thirteen sermons Edwards addressed to children and young adults. Also included is a list of Bible questions for children that Edwards expected his young people to know. For the most part, these messages focus on the importance of obedience, discipline, and seeking God.

Gospel Worship: Worship Worthy of God

God is as clear today as He was to Nadab and Abihu in the Old Testament: He will be treated as holy by those who come into His presence (Lev. 10:1-3). Their deaths shows that one cannot get into too much instruction as to the right way and the wrong way to worship Him. In this treasured work, beloved Puritan pastor Jeremiah Burroughs masterfully gives guidelines to facilitate the reader to move closer to God in worship. Through 14 sermons, Burroughs carefully explains the right manner of worshipping God in the three great ordinances of hearing the Word, receiving the Lord s Supper, and prayer. Burroughs shows that true worship is reverent, focused upon our holy God.

Preparing for the Lord s Supper presents practical instruction from two Puritans. William Bradshaw s contribution explains the dangers of taking Communion unworthily and how to prevent it. His work concludes with a set of questions to aid Christians in self-examination as they prepare for the Lord s Supper. Bradshaw s piece is supplemented with Arthur Hildersham s thorough catechetical tool for understanding and properly partaking of the sacred meal. These treatises exemplify what Puritan ministers taught to common people in ordinary, obscure towns and villages as they prepared to take the Lord s Supper. They are a similar challenge to us today to prepare ourselves thoughtfully and prayerfully before coming to the Lord s Table. In the broadest sense, they supply a helpful guide for proving our faith through self-examination. As Bradshaw says, The duty of trying and examining a man s self is of use to the best of Christians.

The Practice of Piety is filled with scriptural and practical guidelines on the pursuit of holy living. Bayly begins his work with "a plain description of God in His essence, person, and attributes," understanding this to be the basis for piety; every grace that sinners need springs from the gracious character of God. He emphasizes the necessity of true faith and holy living, and explains how to attain and maintain readiness for Christ's second advent. Bayly then shows how to overcome obstacles to the pious life, stresses how piety is to be cultivated, and offers wise advice on the spiritual disciplines. He shows how to guide our thoughts, words, and actions in times of health as well as in times of sickness and affliction. He even provides directives to protect us from despair and the fear of death. In short, this is a book about how to live godly and die well.

Building on Jesus's words that "the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force" (Matt. 11:12), Heaven Taken by Storm reminds us that Christians are spiritual warriors and the kingdom advances through warfare. As Watson puts it, "Our life is military. Christ is our Captain, the gospel is the banner, the graces are our spiritual artillery, and heaven is only taken in a forcible way." In his typically heart-searching style, replete with practical illustrations and gripping remarks, Watson describes how the Christian is to take the kingdom of heaven by holy violence through the reading and exposition of Scripture, prayer, meditation, self-examination, conversation, and the sanctification of the Lord's Day. Moreover, he poignantly calls the believer to be vigilant against the flesh, Satan, and the world. Soldiers of Christ will find this a practical handbook on Christian living.
