This book pack includes:
1) Saint’s Advantage by Christ’s Ascension and Coming Again from Heaven
We often think of Christ’s death and resurrection as important to the Christian life. But is there any benefit from Jesus’s ascension? Christopher Love reminds us of the great advantages of Christ going into heaven—not only that He prepares a place for us, but also that He will return and receive us to Himself, and we will be with Him evermore. The book touches on key end time teachings regarding the second coming of Christ, the millennial reign, the bodily resurrection, and the elects’ everlasting communion with the Lord. It also presents believers great comfort while they await Christ’s return.
2) The Discovery of Glorious Love
Love is glorious—we might even say transcendent. Yet no love is as glorious as the Lord Jesus’s love for His people. From Ephesians 3:19, John Durant explains the greatness of Christ’s love as beyond what words can express or our wildest imagination. While this love is so great that we cannot fully comprehend it, it is indeed true and among the sweetest comforts that can ease our troubled hearts. Durant reveals the many ways that Christ’s heart is full of tender love for all believers. But has this love captured your heart?
3) Believers’ Evidences for Eternal Life
We have all experienced it: that moment when Satan whispers in your ear, “You aren’t really a true Christian or you wouldn’t think or behave like that.” It is one of our enemy’s most effective tactics to spread uncertainty and render God’s people ineffective with self-doubt. But how do we know we are a Christian? Roberts writes, “to be in a gracious state is true happiness. But to know ourselves to be in such a state is true happiness doubled upon us.” Roberts book will lend some help to Christians to discern their spiritual state and make your election and calling sure (2 Pet 1:10).
4) The Lord’s Supper: Doctrines, Encouragements, and Duties
John Shower explains that as it is our duty and privilege to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, we should come to it with repentance, love, gratitude, and joy. The Lord’s Supper is a covenant of fidelity between God and man in which we express public love and honor to our Savior and the emphasis is not on the efficacy of our faith but on His actions. Shower’s eight discourses will help us as we meditate on the meaning of the Supper in devotional love.
5) Preparing For The Lord's Supper
Preparing for the Lord’s Supper presents practical instruction from two Puritans. William Bradshaw’s contribution explains the dangers of taking Communion unworthily and how to prevent it. His work concludes with a set of questions to aid Christians in self-examination as they prepare for the Lord’s Supper.
6) Fasting, Prayer, and Humiliation for Sin
Hildersham presents the reasons, need, method, and helps the Christian is to employ in taking up fasting and prayer as a serious duty, both for himself and for others, especially in the face of great judgment. His work encourages Christians to grow in repentance for sin by laying out its seriousness and the reality of its consequences, whether in this life or the next. His word then is timely now: “As the Lord Himself counsels you, ‘Prepare to meet thy God.’”
7) Christ: The Way, the Truth, and the Life
Christ the Way, the Truth, and the Life is John Brown of Wamphray’s most practical, experiential work. It provides spiritual counsel on living the Christian life as it ought to be lived—centering on Christ, mortifying sin, loving the souls of others, and glorifying God. This classic reprint excels in teaching believers how to make use of Christ in a variety of ways on a daily basis.
8) The Lord's Prayer for His People
Robert Traill's treatment of Christ's intercessory prayer for His people is a masterpiece of Puritan experiential doctrine. Mining the depths of John 17:24, Traill discovers the comforts of the doctrine of election, the blessing of our hope of heaven, and the believer's delight in the glory of Christ - all founded on the immovable love of the Father for His Son. Traill's exposition is full of practical application, careful to address both believers and unbelievers alike.
9) The Happiness of Enjoying and Making a True and Speedy Use of Christ
Alexander Grosse (1596–1654) was an able Puritan minister of presbyterian persuasion who wrote eight influential books from 1632 to 1656, none of which have been reprinted until now. This book, with its intriguing title about making a speedy use of Christ in every situation, is based on Colossians 2:9–10, “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.”
10) The Best Match: The Soul’s Espousal to Christ
Taking his theme from 2 Corinthians 11:2, Edward Pearse discusses the blessed marriage that exists between believers and Christ. He shows what makes Christ the perfect Bridegroom and how it is that God accomplishes this grand espousal. This is a work of great spiritual value, charged with experiential vitality and liberally sprinkled with gospel exhortations. Read and see that there is no better match for your soul than Jesus.
11) The Wells of Salvation Opened

Follow Spurstowe as he faithfully reminds us of the promises given to them in Christ and the gospel.
