Publisher's Synopsis
"The Saints' Everlasting Rest is an updated abridgment of a classic text in Richard Baxter's corpus. In it he argues that we can live a godly life on earth by daily dwelling and meditating on the thought of heaven in order to prepare ourselves for it. We should focus our minds on our eternal rest, not just on the pleasures, distractions, and temptations of our earthly existence. This edition introduces the text and makes it accessible to the modern reader"--.
