Christopher Love wrote a very insightful book on tbd sanctification of the believer broken into 8 sermons.

Beheaded on Tower Hill, London (August 22, 1651) charged with treason.

The book is a bit difficult to read in the old English but full of prized jewels to mine in these 8 sermons.

A book worth spending much time reading and pondering.

I really enjoyed the second half of this book on prayer. His stuff on Zealous Christianity was helpful but not as enjoyable as the portion on prayer
