Must the heart be broken for sin before it is prepared for the entrance of Jesus Christ? Does God use means to convict the sinner of his sins and break his heart for them? In this classic work, which went through six printings in the first eight years of its release in 1632, Thomas Hooker details the process by which God breaks the heart of a sinner preparatory to His giving of life to him. The doctrines set forth in this book should clearly show us how modern evangelism has grievously erred in simply asking men to ‘admit they are sinners’ before accepting Jesus Christ.
