Synopsis

In this treatise, Puritan pastor Jeremiah Burroughs carefully describes the peculiar nature of Christian hope and the influence it has on the life of a believer. He argues that every believer is fundamentally a hopeful person by virtue of the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, and the presence of this hope has a purifying effect on the heart. He then recounts ten reasons, based on the greatness of the object of hope, why hope tends to clean up one's life. Appended to this book is a sobering exposition of Psalm 17:14, which details the misery of those whose hope is in this world and receive their portion in this life. Weary and worn pilgrims, read this important book on hope and learn to revel in great expectation of the things God has in store.

À propos de l'auteur

Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646) was loved for his preaching and his gentle spirit, yet the government persecuted him because of his nonconformity to the Church of England. Forced to flee to Rotterdam, Holland, for a time, he eventually returned to England and preached to congregations in Stepney and Cripplegate in London, two of the largest in England.
