The Sight of Christ: 90 Days with the Puritans (Yuille)

Description

Unsure where to begin with the Puritans? Begin with a sentence.

In The Sight of Christ, Stephen Yuille offers ninety brief daily devotions drawn from choice Puritan quotations and grounded in Scripture. Each meditation opens with a carefully selected excerpt from a Puritan writer, followed by warm pastoral reflection and relevant biblical texts, making rich theology accessible for everyday reading.

These meditations are intentionally concise. Designed to be read in minutes, they are well suited for busy Christians who desire devotional depth without long or demanding study. Over time, they aim to cultivate reverence, clarity of thought, and a deeper love for Christ.

This volume is part of an ongoing series of 90-day devotionals that share a common format and pastoral tone. Each book is complete in itself and may be read independently.

Who This Book Is For

• Readers new to the Puritans seeking a welcoming entry point
• Pastors and laypeople looking for substantial yet manageable daily devotions
• Christians who value biblically rich, Christ-centered devotional reading

Endorsements

“Some more mature people in my childhood could suck a peppermint slowly and savor its taste for a long time. Impatient youngsters (like me) crunched them quickly; the aftertaste was correspondingly brief. Perhaps that’s a parable of our ability, or inability, to linger on God’s word and meditate lovingly on its Spirit-given riches. If so, thanks to Stephen Yuille, The Sight of Christ will help us to slow down and taste that the Lord is good.”

“The joy that makes life sweet comes from beholding the beauty of Christ with the spiritual eyes of faith. And yet we often let sin, temptation, and distractions cloud our vision of Him. We need faithful brothers to point us back to Christ in His Word so that we lay hold once again of the communion with our Savior that is the very marrow of life. Stephen Yuille’s The Sight of Christ is a faithful help in daily redirecting our hearts to Jesus. These brief but soul-enriching devotionals will equip us to worship our Shepherd as He is worthy. Read and be blessed.”
—Michael Riccardi, pastor, GraceLife, Grace Community Church; professor of theology, The Master’s Seminary

“Real theology is not simply academic. Biblical doctrine addresses the heart. This book is an example of the kind of teaching we need more of today. It is clear and Bible saturated, but its aim is to cause us to embrace and enjoy the truths that we confess. It is the kind of book that will enrich your devotional life by pointing you to Jesus Christ.”
—Jonathan L. Master, president, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

“When I first began to read the Puritans, I gravitated toward some and not others. Puritanism was a large movement, encompassing preachers and writers in the thousands. Differences among them are therefore not surprising. The ones with whom I felt the deepest affinity were those who highlighted an experiential Reformed faith. They stood in the Augustinian tradition that makes much of the affections of the heart and the suavitas (sweetness) of religion. This latest book by Stephen Yuille, a leading scholar of the Puritan movement, stands squarely in this tradition. I highly recommend it.”
—Michael A. G. Azad Haykin, professor of church history and biblical spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Devotionals abound, but few capture the theology, piety, and practice of Christianity in a heartwarming manner. Stephen Yuille has done just this in providing a devotional that helps us to walk with the Puritans as we contemplate the glories of Christ and His salvation. This work is an invaluable resource for your spiritual edification and for strengthening your faith. Read it; you will be greatly edified.”
—Christopher J. Gordon, senior minister, Escondido United Reformed Church; host, Abounding Grace Radio
