Overview

Jeremiah Burroughs is one of the most beloved of the seventeenth-century English Puritans. In this important work, Burroughs shows from Scripture the great sin of thinking as the world thinks rather than thinking God's thoughts after Him. Then, realizing that right conduct is the result of right thinking, Burroughs gives us more gems in the two bonus treatises offered here, A Heavenly Conversation and Walking with God.
The Puritans rightly discerned the relationship between a person's doctrine and his or her walk before God and fellow man. May the Lord use these sermons to give us the same kind of discernment in our day. May we learn to think biblically, and then may we begin to act accordingly.

Editorial Reviews

"This volume may be the most comprehensive treatment of the nature and enticements of worldliness. It is a prose version of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, reflecting the keen insight of Puritan Christianity. It is far too valuable to be ignored."
--R. C. Sproul, founder of Ligonier Ministries

Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646) was loved for his preaching and for his gentle spirit and was persecuted for his nonconformity to the Church of England. Forced to flee to Holland for a time, he eventually returned to England and preached to congregations in Stepney and Cripplegate in London, two of the largest congregations in all of England. He also served as a member of the Westminster Assembly until his death in 1646.
