The Saints' Everlasting Rest

Richard Baxter (1615-1691)

Baxter's most celebrated work, written during a serious illness in which he expected to die. A sustained meditation on heaven as the believer's everlasting rest, designed to press the reader toward regular contemplation of eternal glory as the cure for earthly anxieties and spiritual coldness. One of the most widely read Puritan works of the seventeenth century.
