Glorious Freedom
The Excellency of the Gospel Above the Law
A renowned Puritan shows the transforming liberty which comes from seeing Christ in the gospel. This is an exposition of 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.
The original title of this study was The Excellency of the Gospel above the Law. In it Sibbes described the fuller self-revelation of God in the coming of Christ and its greater effect in those who behold that glory by the Spirit. The vitality of the new covenant results in spiritual liberty and likeness to Christ.
Thomas Goodwin and Philip Nye supervised the first edition of this work which was first published in 1639, four years after Sibbes’ death. They described it as showing ‘the liberty of the sons of God… the image of their graces here and glory hereafter’ and as providing ‘much comfort and great encouragement to all (who) begin timely and continue constantly in the ways of God’.
The text of the original treatise is reproduced here with the minimum of editing.
Customer Review:
“This is one of my all-time favorites from the Puritan Paperbacks series, and also one of my favorite Puritan books. It’s a truly glorious exposition of the gospel, and I use the word “glorious” purposefully. It was said that Sibbes was “a heavenly doctor” for the vision he had of Christ and his ability to apply gospel-truth to the heart. This book certainly demonstrates why that is so. The vision of God and Jesus and grace in this book has deeply warmed my heart and left a lasting impression in my understanding of the gospel that never fails to encourage me and inspire praise. Few authors have touched me like Sibbes has here.”
— Matthew Sullivan

The Great Gain of Godliness (Thomas Watson) (#39)
$8.75C. H. Spurgeon had a well-stocked library of Puritan books that contained around 12,000 volumes. However, one rare book was not to be found amongst that valuable collection: Thomas Watson’s Notes on Malachi 3:16-18. With a note of sadness in his voice he said to his College students: “This would be a great find if we could come at it, for Watson is one of the clearest and liveliest of Puritan authors. We fear we shall never see this commentary, for we have tried to obtain it, and tried in vain.”
In this reset and lightly edited edition you can now read the book that was on Spurgeon’s ‘wish-list’! Â Â The Great Gain of Godliness is Watson’s exposition of Malachi 3:16-18. Watson he aims “to encourage solid piety and confute the atheists of the world, who imagine there is no gain in godliness.” This book has all the hallmarks of Thomas Watson’s other writings: a combination of rich spirituality, nourishing doctrine, and sane practical wisdom coupled with fascinating illustrations and a very pleasant style.

Spiritual-Mindedness (John Owen) (#41)
$8.00Thomas Chalmers wrote that Owen’s book on Spiritual-Mindedness holds ‘a distinguished rank among the voluminous writings of this celebrated author’. For him three features made it special:
* The force with which it applies truth to the conscience
* The way in which Owen plumbs the depths of Christian experience as a skillful physician of the soul
* The uncovering of the secrets of the mind and heart so that the true spiritual state of the reader is discoveredThis book began as a collection of meditations on Romans 8:6, written for the author’s own benefit during a time of illness. Alarmed by the subtle power the world has over the mind, Owen shows us how to really live by raising our thoughts above all earthly objects and setting them on ‘things above, where Christ is’ (Col. 3:1).

Facing Grief: Counsel for Mourners (John Flavel) (#10)
$8.75From a Puritan minister who faced many sufferings in his life, including the death of his first – and second wife, along with persecution, comes this volume of outstanding counsel, originally titled “A Token for Mourners.”
The work is intended to provide biblical comfort to ‘godly mourners’. This book is full of Scripture, counsel, warning, and wisdom gained from prayerful reflection on the personal experience of affliction in loss and grief.
For over 150 years Flavel’s Token for Mourners was printed and re-printed in England and America. The times demanded that the heart-breaking experience of the loss of children be faced by most parents. And generations of Christian parents found comfort through this little book.

Temptation: Resisted and Repulsed (John Owen) (#40)
$7.20In this abridgement of John Owen’s classic work Of Temptation, the famous Puritan theologian opens up Matthew 26:41, carefully explaining what temptation is and what it means to enter into it. Owen then shows how Christ teaches two means for Christians to use in order to guard against this danger, namely watching and praying:
“These two”, Owen says, “comprise the whole endeavour of faith for the souls preservation from temptation”, and he insists that it is the duty of every believer to follow diligently Christ’s instructions to avoid falling into temptation. Owen helpfully applies his teaching, explaining how we can know whether we have entered into temptation, what practical steps we should take to preserve our souls from entering into it, how to identify those particular times when people tend to enter into temptation, and showing us the best ways of watching the heart itself.
