ISBN: 1601780729

Author: George Swinnock

Condition: New

The Puritans frequently talked about dying well. That is something we do not discuss much these days, though we should. In this book, George Swinnock presents modern readers with valuable food for thought as he expounds Psalm 73:26, My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. Swinnock combines careful explanation with vivid illustration to reveal the futility of earthly comforts and highlight the inestimable comfort, satisfaction, and joy afforded us in Christ. Displaying the relevance of the Puritans for today, you will find this sorely neglected and sobering topic an easy, thought-provoking, and compelling read.Table of Contents:Psalm 73 in ContextPsalm 73:26 ExplainedMan's Flesh Will Fail HimThe Folly of Living for the FleshBe Prepared to Die!Further Reasons to Be Prepared to DieHow to Be Prepared to DieSeek to Die WellGod Is Man's True HappinessGod Alone Is Sufficient for Man's SoulGod Alone Is Suitable to Man's SoulGod Alone Is Immortal Like Man's SoulThe Condition of Distressed Sinners and SaintsThe Potion of Sinners and Saints in the World to Come Is God Your Joy?Choose God as Your TreasureSatisfied and SanctifiedJoy in Full and ForeverTake Comfort
