In a comprehensive and helpful manner Flavel helps us understand better what ‘keeping the heart’ means. He tells us why we should take this commission seriously and speaks about there being particular times when we need to be especially wary of being distracted from our goal. He then shows how we can go on to develop a greater ability in keeping our hearts in tune with God. His advice is timeless, sensitive and profound. Flavel was an English Puritan who became a non–conformist after the ‘Great Ejection’ of 1662. It was 10 years before he was licenced to preach again, and then only in his own home. His writings, when collected in the 19th century, filled 6 volumes. Flavel’s writings are known for their practical nature. He was instrumental in promoting the ‘Happy Union’ of Presbyterians and Congregationalists.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e128 pages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/files\/9781845506483-keeping-the-heart-how-to-maintain-your-love-for-god-flavel-john.pdf?v=1649474271\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView excerpt here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Christian Heritage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16412981723179,"sku":"9781845506483","price":16.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/9781845506483-keeping-the-heart-how-to-maintain-your-love-for-god-flavel-john-cfp.jpg?v=1636099904"},{"product_id":"9781596382138-thomas-manton-a-guided-tour-of-the-life-and-thought-of-a-puritan-pastor-derek-cooper","title":"Thomas Manton: A Guided Tour of the Life and Thought of a Puritan Pastor","description":"\u003cp\u003e240 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"P\u0026R Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16765600858155,"sku":"9781596382138","price":25.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/prpbooks_2Fimages_2Fcovers_2Fhi-res_2F9781596382138.jpg?v=1636117157"},{"product_id":"9781892777911-the-works-of-thomas-goodwin-12-vols-goodwin-thomas","title":"The Works of Thomas Goodwin, 12 Vols.","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUT OF PRINT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThomas Goodwin’s unusually large corpus of treatises display a pastoral and scholarly zeal rivaled by few Puritans.

A correct diagnosis is more than half the cure but Bridge does not leave his readers there. He gives directions for applying the remedy. For example in dealing with ‘great sins’ he says, ‘If you would be truly humbled and not be discouraged; not be discouraged and yet be humbled; then beat and drive up all your sin to your unbelief, and lay the stress and weight of all your sorrow upon that sin.’ The general causes of spiritual depression are the same in every age.

His ministry transformed the people of Kidderminster from ‘an ignorant, rude and revelling people’ to a godly, worshipping community. These pages, first prepared for a Worcestershire association of ministers in 1656, deal with the means by which such changes are ever to be accomplished.
