Works of John Flavel by John Flavel (Hardcover)

Having all the characteristics of the tradition to which he belonged - a tradition which believed that preaching should be "hissing hot, " searching and expository - Flavel attained to preeminence in his ability to combine both instruction and an appeal to the heart. Some Puritans might be more learned than he, and some more quaint, but for all round usefulness none was his superior. Flavel's complete works had long been unobtainable until they were reprinted by Banner of Truth in 1968. This sex volumes are in themselves a library of the best Puritan divinity and a set will be a life-long treasure to those who possess it.

He is one of that small number of evangelical writers who can by their lucidity and simplicity help those at the beginning of the Christian life and at the same time be a strong companion to those who near its end.
