This review is from: The Godly Man's Picture (Puritan Paperbacks) (Paperback)
This is a must read for every Christian. With a high view of the LORD and His Word, Thomas Watson delivers a practical, Christ centered, treatise on what a Godly man will be characterized by. In his usual lucid profundity, Watson articulates and illustrates biblical truth without muddying the water. This book is truly edifying and is without a doubt one of my favorite books of all time. If you are used to a diet of contemporary Christian fluff, then proceed with caution. You will not find any self-centered psychobabble here. What you will find however, is rich and profound teaching that is Christ honoring and God centered.

Puritan devotion to Christ at it's best.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Godly Man's Picture (Puritan Paperbacks) (Paperback)
Puritan writers are known for thier marvellous logic and their thorough commitment to Jesus Christ. Thomas Watson has these qualities in common with those who were his contemporaries, however he injects into this book many poetical, descriptive and even romantic images that cause the deep truths he is presenting to rush home vividly to the mind and heart. Watson deals with many practical matters of Christianity and his effort is most helpful to those who yearn to be more godly and more honoring to Jesus Christ. The title should not put women off! It is a book that applies to both sexes. It seems the term "man" is generic. If you are serious about practical Christianity then this will be a challenge and a blessing.

No Fluff Here!,
By C. Lloyd Chesser (Hueytown, AL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Godly Man's Picture (Puritan Paperbacks) (Paperback)
Thomas Watson exemplifies the nature of Puritan writing. This book is very practical, and is not emotive in it's theology. If you want to apply the Scriptures in a practical manner, this book is the ticket. If you're looking for "Evangelical fluff," go to your local Christian bookstore.
