Description:

Edward Pearse (c.1633–1674) was a Puritan pastor in London during a period of immense political and social upheaval in England. He died at forty of tuberculosis, but during his final months, he wrote this book as a guide to his congregation, in order to direct them to life’s one ‘great concern,’ namely, “to have all things set right, well-ordered, and composed in the matters of the soul before leaving this world.” With wonderful clarity, the author shows how putting the spiritual concerns of the soul into the best posture possible for the hour of death is in actuality the key to living an abundant, God-honoring life. Or as Pearse explains:“It is to fill up our time with duty, and our duties with grace; to use the time which is given to us in the pursuit of these ends—not to eat, drink, and please ourselves with creature comforts—but to serve and honor the Creator, to work out our salvation, to become acquainted with God and Christ, and to ensure ourselves of heaven and a blessed eternity.”This edition includes a biographical preface and review questions designed to facilitate group discussion or personal reflection.Paperback (Amazon) $14.99eBook (Amazon, Barnes Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Lulu) $4.99 Now reprinted for your enjoyment is The Heavenward Way, a collection of four treatises that helpfully outline the life of faith in a believer. Here Christopher Blackwood (c.1605–1669) brings into sharp focus the essential priorities of the life of faith: first, learning to recognize and treasure the precious worth of Jesus Christ (and by contrast, the dangers associated with not having true love for him); next, honoring God by loving our neighbor as ourselves; and finally, living our lives in such a way that we are well-prepared for death.It includes a biographical preface, helpful footnotes, and review questions designed to help facilitate group discussion or personal reflection. Scripture references are embedded in the text as well.Available through the following sources:∙ e-Book (ISBN 9781678017347) for Kindle, Nook, iBooks, Google Play, Kobo, Lulu (MSRP $2.99).∙ Trade paperback on hold (MSRP $9.99). “Faith without love to Christ is a dead faith.” So states Thomas Vincent in The True Christian’s Love of the Unseen Christ—a book whose sole stated purpose is to help the reader obtain love for Christ in truth and strength. Christian, if your love for Christ has gone cold, if you have lost your passion for serving Christ, this book will be a spark for rekindling that love again, and a bellows for fanning it into flame.Thomas Vincent (1634–1678) was a Puritan pastor who was deprived of his pulpit when the Act of Uniformity was decreed in 1662. He continued to minister to young people alongside Thomas Doolittle at a boarding school in Bunhill Fields. When the Great Plague ravaged London in 1665 and everyone who could afford to leave the city was fleeing, Vincent instead chose to remain, so that he could minister to the sick and suffering.Available through the following sources:∙ e-Book (ISBN 9780359565603) for Kindle, Nook, iBooks, Google Play, Kobo, Lulu (MSRP $4.99).∙ Trade paperback (ISBN 9781548998479, 162 pp.) at Amazon (MSRP $12.99). Digital Puritan Press is pleased to announce the publication of a single-volume collection of all the poetry of Samuel Slater.  A Discourse Concerning the Creation, Fall, and Recovery of Man is modeled on John Milton s Paradise Lost , yet in a much more approachable style and length. A Dialogue Between Faith and a Doubting Soul was written for the comfort of a troubled woman who frequently came to the author for counsel and reassurance. Also included are an elegy for Oliver Cromwell and several biblical songs put to verse. Even readers unfamiliar with Elizabethan poetry will find these works both engaging and encouraging. They are useful for both devotional reading and academic study.Samuel Slater (c.1629–1704) was a Presbyterian pastor who was deprived of his congregation in Suffolk when the Act of Uniformity was passed in 1662. He later succeeded Stephen Charnock as pastor of the church at Crosby Square, Bishopgate Street, in London, where he ministered faithfully until his death.∙ e-Book (ISBN 9781387471829) for Kindle, Nook, iBooks, Google Play, Kobo, Lulu (MSRP $4.99).∙ Trade paperback (ISBN 9781982065416, 162 pp.) at Amazon (MSRP $11.99). So this would really scratch my OCD itch For quite some time I have had the idea of taking all the best PDFs I can find of the authors represented on these pages and putting them into an organized format, interlinked from a bookmarked PDF file which serves as a directory.  This would allow us to have at our fingertips the works of the Puritans on a tablet or phone, with no internet connection or downloading.  A real bonus would be to include the Scripture and topical indices as well.  Running background OCR will allow searching for text phrases, to some degree.  Certain tablets will allow highlighting, underlining, and other note-taking as well.I am thinking that this could be updated each year as the library of files was improved and expanded.  I know several others have done similar things like this in the past.  The difference is, this is going to be FREE (less the cost of the memory card).  If you d like to get involved in this project, drop me a line and I ll keep you in mind when I start on this in earnest.  I doubt this will come to fruition soon, unless there are a lot of helpers.  But someday!I know someone will ask this, so I ll give you the current stats:5,601 files (however this also includes text files, epubs, mobi files, and PDFs I am not allowed to share)34.5 gigabytes
