Next to most people's Bibles is a copy of John Bunyan's classic THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS. However, Brooks' amazingly convicting PRECIOUS REMEDIES should be on the other side. This is possibly the most valuable of all the puritan writings, and a must read for every Christian, especially those struggling and/or tampering with sin. Satan hates this work as it exposes his devices....and offers biblical methods to avoid and overcome them. Seek this one out at all costs. Banner of Truth ministries still carries this title.

Are you unsure about the whole topic of spritual warfare and want a book with a balanced Biblical perspective? Want to save your marriage? Do you want to be able to successfully battle pride, unbelief and lust? This book has it all. Check out page 198. The practice of remedy 1 saved my thoughtlife towards my husband. Page 36 remedy 4 brought me to tears and solidified my resolution to fight more fiercly against the sin that taints my heart, mind, body and spirit. It's the most relevant old book to our modern troubles I've ever read.

In considering this work I am reminded of the song, "Killing Me Softly with His Song" in which the singer states that the singer has sung about her justas if he'd read her letters. He KNEW her, yet had never met her. This book could bring this to your mind too. The reader will find statements of Satan's "devices" - the strategies he used, lies he tells, etc. and one can recognize how these things have been a part of one's life at different times. The rememdies are unabashedly from God's written Word and are effective "treatment" for the issue at hand. Similar to C.S. Lewis' "The Screwtape Letters" in exposing some schemes which tend to work against God's people, this is book can be used as a devotional, a discipleship reading, and a tool for counseling.

The message and content of this book are as useful today as they were many ages ago when it was written. The profound depths of insight this author delivers are worthy of their own web page!! Wish that all Christians had a copy of this classic--it is worth reading again and again. Thank God for the classic works like this that have the power to change lives and encourage the downhearted and despairing. Great book!

I recommend this book to nay person wishing to improve their understanding of both the Bible and their their own life. It is now being used in our local church for aduly Sunday School. I have read this book completey throught and have started reading again.

This book has been a solid read on the methods of the enemy and practical ways to combat against it.

Though this is a great book all ebooks should come with a linked table of contents of which this edition is missing. Otherwise the book is unnavigatible.

I am a lover of the Puritans! Having done my doctoral work on a Puritan, I am very familiar with their writings. This particular version of "Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices" by Thomas Brooks, is a great blessing. The difficult words, no longer or rarely used today, and some of the archaic sentence structure have been modernized without removing the beautiful prose and original flavor of author. This particular Kindle version is much more accessible to readers who find it difficult to read Elizabethan English. Thomas Brooks, along with Thomas Watson, are the two most readable puritans and this particular version makes Brooks even more accessible to readers today. The puritans were students of their own hearts and they wrote out of their own self examination. Brooks knows how to apply God's Word in a clear, direct, and encouraging way. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to grow in Christ likeness!
