Endorsements
“Watson was one of the most concise, racy, illustrative, and suggestive of those eminent divines who made the Puritan age the Augustan period of evangelical literature. There is a happy union of sound doctrine, heart-searching experience, and practical wisdom throughout all his works.” —C. H. Spurgeon
About the Author
Thomas Watson (ca. 1620–1686) graduated from Cambridge University and became one of the leading Puritan minsters of London. His works, such as "The Godly Man's Picture" and "A Body of Divinity," continue to be treasured for their clear exposition of biblical truths and their application to the Christian life.
(2) THE CHRISTIAN WARRIOR: Wrestling with Sin, Satan, the World, and the Flesh by Isaac Ambrose (1604-1664)
When Christians are given new life, they also gain new enemies.
In this insightful work, Puritan Isaac Ambrose entreats Christians not to slumber amid their battle against sin, the world, and the flesh. Ambrose’s timely instructions and warnings reveal the tools and weapons God has given us to fight against spiritual adversaries. Readers will learn how to use the armor of God to triumph in the constant battle for their souls.

Endorsement
“Our contemporary culture, saturated by scientific rationalism, frequently tends to ignore the reality of the powers of evil and darkness. This Puritan classic takes Ephesians 6:12 seriously and teaches that battle with the devil still rages today. Isaac Ambrose’s small but dynamic, packed treatise offers readers practical directions and helpful spiritual disciplines to face the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Most importantly, The Christian Warrior will help you cling to Jesus as your only reliable defense.” —Tom Schwanda, associate professor of Christian formation and ministry, emeritus, Wheaton College; and scholar in residence for Puritan piety, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
About the Author
Isaac Ambrose, the son of a clergyman, was born in 1604. As a member of the Presbyterian Party, he ministered at Preston and Garstang until he was ejected by the Act of Uniformity of 1662. He lived and died a non-conformist. His most famous work, Looking Unto Jesus, has been called “a classic of Christ-centered divinity.”
(3) PRACTICAL GODLINESS: The Ornament of all Religion by Vincent Alsop (d. 1702)
Treating Titus 2:10, which exhorts us to “adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things,” Practical Godliness is a call to live each day according to the promises of the gospel and the precepts of the law. It is not enough to confess right doctrine. True faith produces a faithfulness that displays the beauty of Christ in the life of His people. Recognizing that too many professing Christians lose sight of the beauty of holiness and idolize their physical appearance, Alsop appends a sixty-seven-page treatment of modesty, clothing, and fashion titled “The Sinfulness of Strange Apparel.” Would you adorn the doctrines of God? Let this noble Puritan be your guide.

Endorsement
“Our debt of gratitude to Reformation Heritage Books continues to grow for keeping such Puritan treasures as Vincent Alsop’s Practical Godliness in print and available for the church today. Alsop delivers a stirring call to authentic Christian living, a more conscientious sanctification of the Lord’s Day, and a deeper commitment to worshiping God within our families. With piercing insight and pastoral care, Alsop challenges readers to weigh their devotion in the light of God’s Word and to walk with God in humility, holiness, and heartfelt obedience. Rich in Scripture and timeless in wisdom, this classic work is a powerful guide for anyone seeking to live in gratitude for what God has done.” —Randall J. Pederson, adjunct professor, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
