Connecting the Puritans with Christ’s Church Worldwide

We believe reading good books is vital to our journey through this life.

“Good books are cisterns that hold the waters of life in them to refresh you.”

– Thomas Watson

We believe the majority of what the world offers today through books and online via social media stirs up our mind toward the flesh and hinders our sanctification. Christians should be intentional about what they consume.

“Let no knowledge satisfy you, but that which lifts you above the world, but that which weans you from the world, but that which makes the world a footstool. Such knowledge, such light, will at last lead you into everlasting light.” – Thomas Brooks

We believe the Puritans are unparalleled in their ability to apply the Scriptures to the Christian life. In fact, we have found nothing outside the bible that is more edifying to the life of a believer.

“By all means read the Puritans, they are worth more than all the modern stuff put together.”

– Charles Spurgeon

We believe many churches are adrift and reliving some of the same crises the Puritans dealt with and wrote about. We could learn much from their literature and experience in these areas.

“A great many of the ideas about God which are trotted out as novelties today are simply the ones which real Theologians tried centuries ago and rejected.”

– CS Lewis

The writings of the Puritans are saturated with Scripture. When not expositing the Word of God, they are constantly pointing believers back to the Scriptures. Their approach to daily life and spiritual growth is based solely on the Word of God.

“God’s Spirit does not work except on the foundation of the word …therefore [a Christian] must not only read the book, but eat it. He must not only have the knowledge of divine things flowing in his brain, but engraved on his heart and printed in his soul by the spiritual finger of God.”

– William Perkins

The Puritans were first and foremost shepherds of the souls under their care. They took this charge seriously and they deeply loved their people. This shines through in their writings. The pages of a Puritan book bleed compassion guided by God’s word.

“A minister is not to be merely a public preacher, but to be known as a counselor for their souls.”

– Richard Baxter

We believe the Puritans open the Scriptures to us and point us to Christ like no other. They direct our eyes to Him. What could be better?

“One view of Christ’s glory by faith will scatter all the fears, answer all the objections and disperse all the depressions of poor, tempted, doubting souls.”

– John Owen
