Knowing God with Our Minds, Enjoying God with Our Hearts

New Series from Banner of Truth – The Pocket Puritans

Banner of Truth has just introduced a new series of small compact books called The Pocket Puritans. Sinclair B. Ferguson said, “To read the work of a Puritan doctor of the soul is to enter a rich world of spiritual theology to feed the mind, heart-searching analysis to probe the conscience, Christ-centred grace to transform the heart, and wise counsel to direct the life. This series of Pocket Puritans provides all this in miniature, but also in abundance.” Each book is designed to be small enough to fit into a shirt pocket. They make wonderful gifts and are a great way to introduce someone to the Puritans. Each book lists for $6.00 but with the Banner web discount of 25%, you can receive each book for $4.50. The series includes:
