John Flavel is one of the most Christ-centered authors and theologians of all time. In his book, The Fountain of Life, Flavel opens and discusses every detail of Christ’s Person and Work, but he does not do it in a dry manner. He is centering all Christian experience in the glorified Christ. He connects the dots between everything that Christ was, is, and will be and the everyday experience of every true believer. Flavel compels us to see that if we trust our Lord with the things of this world and the world to come, we can trust Him with every detail of both worlds, to our best and to His glory. This book has been originally published in 1840. Current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and slightly updated for modern readers. About the author: John Flavel (1327-1691) was an English Presbyterian clergyman, puritan, and author. He studied theology at University College in Oxford, England, and started his ministry in 1650 at Diptford, Avon. After the Act of Uniformity, he was ejected, but continued to preach in homes and private settings for some years. Flavel died at Exeter on June 26, 1691.

About the Author:

Flavel was born at Bromsgrove in Wordesterchire. He was the elder son of Richard Flavel, described in contemporary records as "a painful and eminent minister." After receiving his early education, partly at home and partly at the grammar-schools of Bromsgrove and Haslar, he entered University College, Oxford. Soon after taking orders in 1650 he obtained a curacy at Diptford, Devon, and on the death of the vicar he was appointed to succeed him. From Diptford he removed in 1656 to Dartmouth. He was ejected from his living by the passing of the Act of Uniformity in 1662, but continued to preach and administer the sacraments privately till the Five Mile Act of 1665, when he retired to Slapton, 5 miles away. He then lived for a time in London, but returned to Dartmouth, where he labored till his death in 1691. He was married four times. He was a vigorous and voluminous writer, and not without a play of fine fancy.
