Synopsis

“The Method of Grace,” which was first published by the Puritan John Flavel in the late 1600's, has "...taught thousands how to commit the keeping of their souls to Christ." This Puritan classic is one of many transforming Reformation classics that brought Christians out of the Dark Ages and into the light. The early Puritan preachers of England did not write and preach from ivory towers. The Act of Uniformity of 1662 declared the public ministry of all non-conformist preachers illegal, but hundreds continued faithfully, preaching under the pressure of persecution and possible arrest. One of this courageous band was John Flavel, who from the crucible of hardship, wrote for the heart as well as the mind. In The Method of Grace, Flavel thoroughly outlines the work of God's Spirit in applying the redemptive work of Christ to the believer. Readers will search their hearts and find their faith challenged and enriched. In the true puritan tradition, a clearly defined theology is delivered with evangelic fervor, by an author urgently concerned about the eternal destiny of the human soul.
