Burroughs, Jeremiah
The Saints' Treasury (Burroughs)
Description
The human heart is created to treasure something. The question we all must face is whether our heart treasures what is best, or if it settles for lesser things. In The Saints’ Treasury, Jeremiah Burroughs shows that there is nothing greater to be treasured than God, and all the good that God the Father is for us is found in His Son Jesus Christ alone. He also labors to demonstrate how Christians enjoy heavenly riches, freedom, and the right to an eternal inheritance through faith. As Burroughs rightly says, “Let us stand a while and admire at the depths of the counsel of God and the infinite glory of the riches of His grace to mankind.”
“Fools will venture their lives for trifles because they know not the worth of them; but those who know the worth of their lives will not do so.” — Jeremiah Burroughs

Endorsements
“Burroughs is an able guide to lead believers to the riches of their spiritual treasury in the triune God. As you follow Burroughs in his expositions of Scripture, he will escort you to a God-centered, Christ-focused, faith-strengthening, freedom-granting storehouse of grace. He handles scriptural truth with pastoral insight and caring precision, directing believers to live out of the fullness of the riches of their spiritual treasury. The final sermon is a heart-searching appeal to unbelievers to help them see the abject poverty of rejecting Christ and spending eternity in the torments of God’s unmitigated wrath. These pithy sermons will stretch the mind, warm the heart, and challenge unbelief.”
—Maarten Kuivenhoven, professor of theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
About the Author
Jeremiah Burroughs (1599–1646) was loved for his preaching and his gentle spirit, yet the government persecuted him because of his nonconformity to the Church of England. Forced to flee to Rotterdam, Holland, for a time, he eventually returned to England and preached to congregations in Stepney and Cripplegate in London, two of the largest in England.
