A Treatise on Comforting Afflicted Consciences (Bolton)
Description
The conscience can be a man's worst enemy—or his best friend.
A Treatise on Comforting Afflicted Consciences breaks the Puritan stereotype, offering a real remedy to the guilt Christians still face. As a seasoned pastor, Samuel Bolton declares the immense power of knowing God’s grace so you can rest in the comforts of heaven here on earth.
Go beyond modern self-help methods and learn the joy of repentance and a clean conscience with this forgotten classic.
Endorsement
“One does not hear much these days about the human conscience. It has become popular to explain away the aching of a troubled heart as some anxiety or stress unrelated to any moral failure. Modern self-esteem theology even urges people to reject guilt feelings as a way of boosting self-image. Few books in history have treated the subject as completely or as clearly as Robert Bolton’s classic work A Treatise on Comforting Afflicted Consciences, first published in 1626. The book remains a definitive study on the issue of dealing with guilt. Practical, biblical, meticulously precise, carefully reasoned, it maintains a straightforward simplicity that cannot fail to touch the sensitive reader’s heart.”
—John MacArthur, founder of Grace to You and longtime pastor of Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California
