The Life of God in the Soul of Man, The: Real Religion (Christian Heritage Puritan Series)

Henry Scougal

Paperback 2012-09-20

17th century Puritan Henry Scougal originally wrote this book to encourage a friend and stimulate his spiritual life. It explains the four essential characteristics of divine life: their excellence, their advantages, and the practical steps that you can take to realise them in your personal experience.

A century after its first publication, Charles Wesley (the famous hymn writer and brother of John) sent a copy of this timeless classic to his friend George Whitefield, and it proved to be instrumental in Whitefield's conversion. The book went on to stimulate spiritual formation among many who were involved in the Methodist Revival of Britain and the Great Awakening in America. This affordable edition is enhanced by an extensive introduction from the doyen of Puritan studies J.I.Packer and includes, as an appendix, the "Rules and instructions for a holy life" by Archbishop Robert Leighton of Glasgow.

128 pages, from Christian Heritage.
