A nonconformist, unifier, husband of three deceased wives, victim
of religious persecution, and author of what has been collected
into six volumes of reprinted Works, John Flavel (c.1630-1691) of
Dartmouth, England not only had an immense following during his own
lifetime, but deeply influenced those who would set the course as
shapers of religion and culture in the generations to follow:
Matthew Henry, Increase Mather, John Newton, Jonathan Edwards,
George Whitefield, William Wilberforce, Archibald Alexander, and
Charles Spurgeon. Flavel's influence remained strong until the end
of the nineteenth century, when-for various reasons presented in
this study seek to show-historiographical, philosophical, and
Christian literature ceased to recognize his life or thought. It
has only been within the last decade that scholarly work has begun
to uncover this 'lost' Puritan and see him as a significant
resource for understanding life and thought in Stuart England as
well as the religious life of the early American colonies. The
first book of its kind, John Flavel: Puritan Life and Thought in
Stuart England aims to reveal Flavel as both a significant and
influential English Puritan as well as present the salient elements
of his life and thought.
Reformed theology teaches that, because we are more sinful than we
could ever imagine, it can only be God who takes that broken
shopping cart wheel (our sinful heart) and replaces it with one
that has both the ability and the desire to seek him and to follow
him. Brian Cosby is the perfect tool for helping students
understand the essentials of reformed theology.
Meditating on the character of God is a duty of delight. In a
fast-food culture of busy schedules and social networking, God
quietly calls us to enjoy fellowship with him. This book of
meditations is designed to usher you unto the green pastures of
God's transformative grace by focusing your thoughts on His
manifold attributes. At the center of it all is the glorious Gospel
of Jesus Christ. Cosby guides the reader through each attribute by
providing prayer, biblical perspective, and reflective questions to
direct the meditation on God's character. Take God's exhortation to
be still and know that He is God.
