“When I wonder about, or want to explore “The Puritans,” what would really help me would be a book of around 160 pages, written by one or two skilled and popular Christian communicators who were also scholars well-versed in Puritan history, theology, biography, pastoral ministry, and contemporary applicability. If only such a book existed! Now it does. It is called Following God Fully—simultaneously a splendid introduction, a refresher course, and a great read. Three cheers for this gift from the dynamic duo of Joel Beeke and Mike Reeves!” — Sinclair B. Ferguson, a Ligonier Ministries teaching fellow and Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary
