Description
"The Puritans can help us today toward the maturity that they knew, and that we need." --J. I. Packer
Committed to hard work, humility, and serious study of Scripture, the Puritans lived out their faith in a way that many now dismiss as antiquated. But in an increasingly fast-paced, materialistic culture, Christ followers today can learn a lot from these spiritual giants of the past.
In A Quest for Godliness, J. I. Packer thoughtfully surveys the life of the Puritans, their influence in church history, and their important virtues that modern-day believers can emulate. Exploring the works of Puritan leaders including John Owen, Richard Baxter, and Jonathan Edwards, Packer uncovers the beauty of their holistic, Christ-centered lifestyle--from vibrant worship, devotion to family, and strong sense of humanity, to their social action, evangelism, and revival. This classic book helps readers appreciate the enduring relevance of Puritan devotion.
