As a successful pastor, Baxter’s more than 150 published treatises have been reprinted constantly over the past three centuries. Volume one of this collection is Baxter's A Christian Directory - A counselling resource and guide to practical Christian living beloved by countless Christians for centuries:
Perhaps the most comprehensive treatment of practical Christianity ever written, Baxter applies Scripture to every aspect of the Christian life: private, familial, ecclesiastical, and neighborly.
Introduced by the late J.I. Packer, this volume contains many of the most brilliant pastoral writings ever penned.
“The most outstanding pastor, evangelist, and writer on practical and devotional themes that Puritanism produced.”
– J. I. Packer
“We have long waited for a purely Biblical treatment of the spiritual ills and cures of men which is untainted by the views of modern psychology. Since Baxter lived about 200 years before modern psychology arrived, his deep work is completely void of its encroachment – thankfully!”
—John MacArthur on Vol. 1
“Baxter’s magnum opus, A Christian Directory (1673), offers keen insights into the life of the believer, expounding practical and casuistical divinity in more than a million words. It is one of the most practical and helpful Biblical counseling manuals ever written.”
—Joel Beeke on Vol. 1
