'As the apostle says to Timothy, so also he says to everyone, 'Give yourself to reading.' He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own. You need to read. Renounce as much as you will all light literature, but study as much as possible sound theological works, especially the Puritanic writers, and expositions of the Bible. The best way for you to spend your leisure is to be either reading or praying.'

“ Perkins on Conversion ” This narration is now 27 years old. I was reflecting on this because the book is now available in modern typeset for free for the Kindle. Now 27 years later I have narrated that section again for my own edification. http://puritanaudiobooks.com/2 013/04/14/william-perkins---cas es-of-conscience-on-conversion- 1602.aspx Back then I used a dual cassette deck with a built in microphone. It was all I had in those days.

“ About the narration ” When this book was narrated, 1985, it was very difficult to get hold of any of Perkins' works. It was borrowed through an interlibrary loan from St. Paul, MN. from a 1602 facsimile. Since it was the old English print, narrating it was a challenge, but the book - especially what is sometimes called the morphology of conversion, is very edifying and seldom known in our day. The "ten steps" of Perkins are mentioned in the appendix of Lloyd-Jones' commentary on Romans 7, The Law and its Functions."
