Book Description
Richard Baxter wrote "The Saints' Everlasting Rest" to help prepare him for death during a life-threatening illness. It has inspired Christians for centuries to lift their eyes above this world to the place where they will spend eternity. Born in 1615, Richard Baxter lived and ministered throughout most of the seventeenth century. After being forced from his pulpit with some two thousand other Puritan ministers in the Great Ejection of 1660, he continued his writing ministry, authoring more than 140 books. Originally published in 1649, this work was forty-six chapters long, covering 844 pages. It was abridged in 1758, condensing it to sixteen chapters. Reading Baxter's book will challenge you to rediscover the wonders of the Lord through reflection and meditation. Taking captive our thoughts and making them obedient to Christ will make us strong in the faith and bring victory to our spiritual walks.--

Puritan Richard Baxter explains many of the reasons that one develops a melancholy or depressed frame of mind. He pays particular attention to when sorrow becomes unhealthy and what are the warning signs. He explains causes such as diseases of the body, sinful discontents, guilt of sin and mistakes in thinking. He explains cures of melancholy and gives many of his own counsels. He explores the topic of taking care of a melancholy person. This puritan sermon is from the "Morning Exercise at Cripplegate" series. This edition includes an outline of the sermon and a biographical sketch of Richard Baxter. The sermon is also called "The Cure of Melancholy and Overmuch Sorrow."Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was born at Rowton in Shropshire, England. He had little formal education but studied on his own. He spent most of his ministry at St. Mary and All Saints Church at Kidderminster. He was a leader of the Nonconformists at the Savoy Conference. He spent time in jail for his puritan views. He was a prodigious writer. His most famous works are "Call to the Unconverted," "The Saints Everlasting Rest" and "The Reformed Pastor."
