“The Good Work Begun is a brief but theologically rich discussion of a Christian’s persevering grace. Vincent demonstrates that the grace begun in the soul will be brought to full completion, from its beginning in regeneration to its growth in sanctification and its fulfillment in glory. He tackles doubts and fears, and he encourages a penetrating self-examination while also directing struggling saints to an assurance based more on God’s faithfulness than on the ebbing and flowing of subjective experiences. This is vintage Vincent. That he addresses covenant youth in the church only adds to its value.”
—Randall J. Pederson, editor of Day by Day with the English Puritans
