Endorsements

“‘The Puritans were physicians of the soul.... They diagnosed spiritual ailments and prescribed biblical remedies. They probed the depths of the heart, unmasking sin at its motivational level, then brought God’s word to bear on it.’ So writes Dr. Stephen Yuille in this beautiful and faithful devotional that bridges the profound faith of the Puritans into our lives. Dr. Yuille introduces the Puritans to a generation that needs them most. Each chapter begins with a Puritan quotation, followed by Dr. Yuille’s accessible explanation that helps the reader toward heartfelt experiential knowledge of the severity of our sin, the beauty of Christ, the mystery of providence, and the certainty of glory. Read this book and meditate on the riches of Christ for the glory of God and the good of our sanctification.”
—Rosaria Butterfield, author of The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert; The Gospel Comes with a House Key; and Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age

“A smorgasbord lies before you in these pages—plenty to fill your mind and stir your heart for ninety delightful days of devotion. My friend Dr. Stephen Yuille, an expert in Puritan piety and spirituality, introduces you to various Puritan pastors who made their marks on history, including William Perkins, John Flavel, Thomas Watson, and John Cotton. After selecting a savory quote from his copious reading of these authors, Dr. Yuille then explains how each biblical insight shapes the daily life of the believer. Meditations on what the Puritans called ‘lively truths’ abound in each devotion, so come and have your mind and heart transformed by Spirit-marinated truth!”
—Joel R. Beeke, chancellor of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary; pastor of Heritage Reformed Congregation, Grand Rapids, Michigan

“Stephen Yuille admirably brings the pastoral wisdom of the Puritans into clear devotional focus for the modern reader. The Puritans were faithful pastors, careful shepherds of souls, attentive readers of Scripture, and thoughtful counselors applying Scripture to the heart. Dr. Yuille helps us practically see how their penetrating insights arise from seemingly simple biblical texts, only to reveal compelling truths when rightly drawn from the Word. This timeless devotional will minister to your soul.”
—Keith A. Evans, associate professor of Christian counseling, Reformed Theological Seminary

“In this rich collection of devotional readings, Stephen Yuille brings together the wisdom of a pastor and the depth of a scholar. His extensive study of the Puritans and his wise application of the Scriptures are wonderfully combined in bite-size, daily readings that will nourish the growing Christian. Whether you are looking to strengthen your own meditations on Scripture or encourage someone else by giving them an edifying book, I highly recommend The Fullness of Grace.”
—Brian G. Hedges, pastor of Redeemer Church, Niles, Michigan; author of Watchfulness: Recovering a Lost Spiritual Discipline

“The Puritans believed in a religion of the heart. They challenged the cold orthodoxy of their day by insisting we don’t merely know about God but can know God personally and intimately. This is the God we worship and need. In The Fullness of Grace, Stephen Yuille is an excellent guide for contemplating the God of the Bible through the lens of heart religion, leading readers into rich, experiential communion with Christ.”
—Juan R. Sanchez, senior pastor of High Pointe Baptist Church, Austin, Texas
