Excerpt from The Grand Question Resolved, What We Must Do to Be Saved: Instructions for a Holy Life
Orant persons cannot remember long and understand a brief style and words. This maketh it impossible to write a Catechism that shall not be unsuitable either to the understanding or the memory of such. I must therefore desire the Teacher to make up the unavoidable defect, by Opening the meaning - especially of the Catechisms, - to the children and servants, when they have learned and say the words. Read the Instructions often to them and press all as you go, on their affections. For the bare words without a present guide may else be all lost.

Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was a prominent English churchman and peacemaker who sought unity among Protestants. Born in Rowton to parents who undervalued education, he was largely self-taught. At age twenty-three he was ordained into the Church of England. Baxter became even better known for his prolific writing, with more than two hundred works to his name. His devotional classic, "The Saints' Everlasting Rest", was one of the most widely read books of the century. When asked what deviations should be permitted from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, he created an entirely new one, "Reformed Liturgy", in two weeks. His autobiography and his pastoral guide, "The Reformed Pastor", are still widely read today.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of how to achieve salvation through holiness -- not as a means of salvation but as a result of it. The author, Richard Baxter, was a 17th-century theologian who believed that true salvation can only come through a radical transformation of the soul. Baxter argues that this transformation can only be achieved through the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. He also provides practical guidance on how to live a holy life, including instructions on how to pray, how to read the Bible, and how to resist temptation. Baxter's work is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and how to live a life that is pleasing to God. His insights on the nature of salvation and the importance of holiness continue to be relevant today, offering guidance and encouragement to those who seek to follow Christ.
