The Saints' Everlasting Rest
 |
 |
Born in 1615, Richard Baxter lived and ministered throughout most of the seventeenth century. After being forced from his pulpit with some two thousand other Puritan ministers in the Great Ejection of 1660, he continued his writing ministry, authoring more than 140 books.
Baxter wrote "The Saints' Everlasting Rest" to help prepare him for death during a life-threatening illness. It has inspired Christians for centuries to lift their eyes above this world to the place where they will spend eternity. Originally published in 1649, the work was forty-six chapters long, covering 844 pages. It was abridged in 1758, condensing it to sixteen chapters. This booklet contains an edited version of Chapters 11-13 from the 1758 edition. |
