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.

—John MacArthur on Vol. 1
