By
This review is from: The Saint's Everlasting Rest (Practical Works of Richard Baxter) (Hardcover)

This book helps open heaven to our hearts, and would be wonderful in meditative prayerful reading. it was written in 1650 by a man who in deep sickness thought he was dying about the glories of heaven, but went on for 40 more years and had one of the legendary ministries of England. A Puritan/Calvinist, but this work will be apprieciated by all who love the deeper Christian life.
