Series Description 

From the late 1500s to the early 1700s, Puritan ministers wrote thousands of Christian books that contain massive amounts of biblical, doctrinal, experiential, and practical instruction to energize your Christian life. In the early seventeenth century, nearly twenty percent of the material coming off English presses consisted of Puritan sermon material popularized in book form. Unfortunately, many believers today find it difficult to read the antiquarian Puritan language and, when they attempt to do so, find themselves more frustrated than energized. This new series, Deepen Your Christian Life, presents in contemporary language the major teachings that several Puritans wrote on subjects that are seldom addressed adequately, if at all, today. Finally, you too will be able to enjoy the Puritans and see, by the Spirit's grace, that they really do energize your Christian life.

"The promises of God give light for the Christian's path through life, and food for the soul on the pilgrimage. Living By God's Promises provides us with a third sine qua non-a map book to guide us to the store houses in which we can find the bountiful provision God has given us for the journey." - Sinclair B. Ferguson, Senior Minister of First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, South Carolina

"Living by God's Promises will be enjoyed, whether by a new Christian, a seminary student, or a saint ready to go home to be with the Lord. It masterfully weaves the voices of Puritans as echoes to the voice of our Good Shepherd whose promises are lavish and bountiful. Enjoy this book-use it often, share it with others, and read it slowly to savor the nourishment. It brings not only comfort but an encouragement to holiness." - David W. Hall, Senior Minister of Midway Presbyterian Church, Powder Springs, Georgia

"God's promises are exceedingly great and many. Other books list them, and there is a place for that, but in this book a Christian mentality is set forth to equip us by a regenerate mindset to perceive, understand, and appropriate the promises of the Bible. What assurance, courage, and energy may come from applying oneself to these pages!" - Geoff Thomas, Pastor of Alfred Place Baptist Church, Aberystwyth, Wales
