It seems like forever ago that I spent a month blogging
about some of the Puritans. Back in
March 2012, I wrote a series of articles on Puritan preaching along with a brief
sketch of some of the Puritan preachers.
Those men were Jeremiah Burroughs, Thomas Brooks, Thomas Shepherd, and
Thomas Watson. During the last five
years, I have continually drawn from the writings of these men and their works
have often been as refreshing to me as an artesian well that watered my
soul. Their commitment to personal
holiness, private prayer, and passionate but deep preaching has certainly been
a motivation for me. With that in mind,
I have determined to spend another month with the Puritans in hopes that those
who read this will make a decision to explore some of the lives and works of
these men.
