This Classic book - The Reformed Pastor -- introduces and orients the reader to critical biblical/theological thinking from the reformed perspective. Baxter's presentation is written with a clarity that fosters biblical thought and facilitates Bible comprehension. You won't be disappointed.Richard Baxter is consistently one of the best Bible scholars and this one is at the top of his writing. He's bold in his writings but solid in Scripture. "It's impossible to measure the influence of this English Puritan over four centuries. His works remain in print and are widely read, which shouldn't surprise us. J. I. Packer considers him "the most outstanding pastor, evangelist, and writer on practical and devotional themes that Puritanism produced," listing Baxter's The Reformed Pastor (1656) as one of the top five books that have influenced him most." -- Andrew Belli

The classic text of Christian reverence by Richard Baxter is presented to the reader unabridged with all sixteen chapters, and the conclusion.Written by Baxter as he lay suffering from a serious illness, The Saints' Everlasting Rest may be interpreted both as a final correspondence between the author and God, and as a message from Baxter who sought to give a pure example of devotion to all Christians. He endured much persecution in life, and was on multiple occasions incarcerated for his beliefs. As a leading figure in the Puritan movement of the 17th century, Richard Baxter spent his life teaching the Christian faith. A reformer who sought to install rigor and observance of faith in the Church of England, Baxter's sudden and unexpected descent to illness steeled him with the devotion to write this book. He had hitherto spent his life as a preacher with some proclivity to writing: his illness however instilled an urgency which accelerated his written output in service of God.
