The Power of The Puritans
"A word to the wise? There was once a day when God sent Jeremiah to say to Israel, ‘Ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls’ (Jer 6:16). As we study the Puritans on the spiritual life, may it be that God is speaking in similar terms to us?
The Puritans' instructions and directions are indeed ‘old paths’, as old as the Bible, but they are paths which the Puritans as a body found to be in truth ‘the good way’. We shall do well to seek for grace to start walking in them ourselves. ‘And you will find rest for your souls.'” - J. I. Packer, author of Knowing God.
The Power of the Puritans is an incredibly transformative front-row seat to the devotional lives of the Puritans.
These 30 devotions will undoubtedly stir your hunger for God like never before.
The Power of the Puritans includes voices such as John Owen, Richard Baxter, Jeremiah Burroughs, Thomas Watson, Henry Scougal, and many more.

"Man’s chief end, and so his chief request, in respect of himself, is, to enjoy God; but with respect to God, so it is the highest only of subordinate ends; for the highest, chiefly and absolutely, is the glorifying of God." - Thomas Manton
So ends the last Puritan excerpt in this wonderful compilation of 30 excerpts of Puritan works. Page after page I was tempted to highlight everything. This is a must for anyone wanting to know where to start with Puritan works. It offers a wide sample of the various styles and personalities of Puritans that continuously strove to point their listeners and readers to God through His Son, the Word, by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is a fascinating, yet brief, journey that will leave you thinking, mourning, singing, and leaping for joy. Read it!
