A Better Covenant

I have decided to take a stroll through the Puritan Era. I pray that you would join me. Many of you may know much more about these authors, but for me it is all new. What I have come to realize through my recent readings is that most of the great authors today: Piper, MacArthur, Sproul and even some of the older ones such as Pink and Spurgeon, didn’t reinvent the wheel. They spent a lot of time in their bibles and a lot of time reading older authors. Some of those authors are great Puritans such as Owens, Watson, Brooks, Burroughs and a few other names I have never heard of. Well the Banner of Truth has a great deal. You can get 5 Puritan books for $25.50 which includes shipping (it says $34 but a 25% discount is taken upon checkout). I thought why not go back and read what these authors have to say since everyone quotes them anyway.

I said all of that to say this. Let’s read more. Let’s see what great man of faith have to say. Listen, if people took the time to republish these books after 300 plus years or so, I think it may be worth reading. There seems to be this mysterious wisdom you get from older writings. God used these men mightily, so lets see why they are still so influential in our day and age (Packer writes extensively about them in “A Quest for Godliness”).  My First book is “A Godly Man’s Picture” the picture is above.
