The Saints' Everlasting Rest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162594460)

The Saints' Everlasting Rest is a Christian devotional book written by Richard Baxter, a 17th-century English Puritan theologian and pastor. The book explores the concept of heaven and the afterlife, and encourages readers to live a godly life in order to attain eternal rest in heaven. Baxter draws on scripture and theological teachings to provide insights into the nature of heaven, and offers practical advice on how to live a life that is pleasing to God. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the afterlife, including the nature of heaven, the rewards of the righteous, the punishments of the wicked, and the practical implications of these teachings for believers. The Saints' Everlasting Rest is considered a classic of Christian literature, and has been widely read and studied by believers around the world.1758. This volume is considered one of the most valuable parts of Baxter's practical works. He wrote it when he was far from home, without any book to consult but his Bible, and in such an ill state of health as to be in continual expectation of death for many months. At this time, he fixed his thoughts on this heavenly subject. Heavenly rest is a subject in its own nature so universally important and interesting, and at the same time so truly engaging and delightful, as sufficiently accounts for the great acceptance of this book.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
