Description
Psalm 18:25 says, “With an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.” But what does it mean to be upright before God? And why is it a blessing that God is upright to us? Puritan pastor Richard Steele proves that growing in holiness leads to God’s glory and our good. As Steele reveals the path of the upright man, he encourages us to press on in good works, knowing that God will honor our labors. In true Puritan form, Steele closes the work by showing us the means we can use to establish a life of integrity that pleases our Lord, including exhortation, self-examination, and more.

Description
First published in 1681, this little-known treatise by Puritan pastor Richard Alleine is an extensive exposition of Proverbs 4:23: “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” The author instructs readers in the proper way to keep their hearts, stressing what is to be done on God’s part and on the believer’s part. In the processes, he details the well-kept heart as one that is mercifully recovered from its lost state, carefully governed in godliness, and eagerly guarded against the world, the flesh, and the devil. The goal throughout is that believers may grow in exercising grace and embracing full assurance of salvation.
