The Saints' Everlasting Rest

Written by a leading Puritan author of the 17th century, this book began as Richard Baxter's own funeral sermon, written when he believed he was on the verge of death. He lived several months longer than he had expected, and continued to write down his meditations on heaven, "to sweeten the rest of my life and my death". This abridged edition makes available to the modern reader the wisdom and insight which Richard Baxter was determined to communicate - "my best advice for your immortal souls". Richard Baxter is the author of "Call to the Converted".
