Practical Works of Richard Baxter (4Vol)

Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was one of the preeminent Puritan leaders of his day. Ordained at 23, he spent 17 fruitful years as curate at Kidderminster, England. He was ejected from the Church of England by the Act of Uniformity in 1662 and was imprisoned at least three times for his preaching.

As a wildly successful pastor, Baxter’s more than 150 published treatises have been reprinted constantly over the past three centuries. Now, for the first time in twenty years, Soli Deo Gloria Publications presents The Practical Works of Richard Baxter in four unabridged volumes:

• A Christian Directory Perhaps the most comprehensive treatment of practical Christianity ever written, Baxter applies Scripture to every aspect of the Christian life: private, familial, ecclesiastical, and neighborly.

• A Call to the Unconverted This collection of treatises and tracts on evangelism, conversion, and assurance will encourage believers and unbelievers alike to self-examination and faith in Christ.

• The Saint’s Everlasting Rest A sprawling masterpiece on the power of “heavenly meditations,” The Saint’s Everlasting Rest reminds us how heavenly-minded Christians produce the greatest earthly good.

• The Reformed Pastor Filled with practical advice and white-hot exhortations, one of the most successful Puritan pastors charges ministers to spend themselves in their pastoral care and preaching. Introduced by the late J.I. Packer, these volumes contain many of the most brilliant pastoral writings ever penned.
