Synopsis

More well known for his Reformed Pastor, Richard Baxter was the outstanding pastor of Kidderminster. Dying Thoughts is his exposition of Paul's words in Philippians 1:23: 'For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better.' Benjamin Fawcett who made this abridged version of the original work wrote, 'The "Dying Thoughts" of Mr. Baxter chiefly present to our view what every Christian may attain, and what it is the highest interest, as well as the indispensable duty of every Christian to aspire after.' In this little book, we see Baxter wrestling with his own doubts and fears as he faces eternity, jealously examining his own heart, anxious to test his own sincerity, taking nothing for granted. Baxter wanted to die with every grace in his soul in full vigour. A man of life passions as ourselves, his Dying Thoughts provides much needed counsel, strength and comfort because it deals with the same conflicts, complaints and desires which fill our own hearts.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Though best known for his Reformed Pastor, Puritan theologian Richard Baxter penned a number of works including his Dying Thoughts, his exposition of Paul’s words in Philippians 1:23: “For I am in a strait betwixt two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better.” In this work, Baxter presents the biblical view of what every Christian may attain and the duty after which every Christian is to aspire. With the specter of death confronting Baxter, he wrestles with his own fears and doubts, examining the recesses of his own heart and takes nothing for granted. His deepest desire was to persevere until the end with passion and vigor by the grace of God. His Dying Thoughts provides just as much truth and comfort today as when it was first penned. His little book provides strength and comfort as it deals with the same issues and desires that every person wrestles with in times of death and dying. Here is a must-read for every Christian believer.
