1662 Saints Everlasting Rest Richard Baxter PURITAN Bible Devotional on HEAVEN
“Lay siege to your sins, and starve them out by keeping away the food and fuel which is their maintenance and life.”
― Richard Baxter
Richard Baxter’s “The Saints’ Everlasting Rest” has long been recognized as one of the great classics of Christian devotion, and it is by this book that he is best known.
This important text was written during a bout of extreme suffering from a debilitating illness, perhaps the inspiration for the work. In this work, Baxter identifies four different religious parties that would emerge – Moderate Presbyterians, Independents, Episcopals, and Erastians. Baxter wrote this book for his own personal enjoyment at a point when he was unemployed. Lowndes mentions this book, and all editions, to include the incredible frontispiece.
