"To know that nothing hurts the godly, is a matter of comfort; but to be assured that all things which fall out shall co-operate for their good, that their crosses shall be turned into blessings, that showers of affliction water the withering root of their grace and make it flourish more; this may fill their hearts with joy till they run over." - Thomas Watson (on the Puritan Hard Drive at http://bit.ly/ci3g2z)
"Christ is the very essence of all delights and pleasures, the very soul and substance of them. As all the rivers are gathered into the ocean, which is the meeting-place of all the waters in the world, so Christ is that ocean in which all true delights and pleasures meet." - John Flavel (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
"We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love." - John Owen (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
"So in love is Christ with holiness that he will buy it with his blood for us." - John Flavel (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
"We trust as we love, and where we love. If we love Christ much, surely we shall trust him much." - Thomas Brooks (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
"Unfathomable oceans of grace are in Christ for you. Dive and dive again -- you will never come to the bottom of these depths!" - Robert Murray McCheyne (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
"They who love any thing better than Christ are not worthy of him." - Covenanter field Minister James Renwick, on the day of his martyrdom (on the Puritan Hard Drive)
Prayer keeps the heart open to God -- but shut to sin. - Thomas Watson (on the Puritan Hard Drive)

It is appointed, once to die... The first edition of this book was in a corner in my library, not forgotten, but the author was unknown to me. Ironically, forgetting the name of the author, I downloaded this same book online and narrated it. As I was teaching on Pilgrim's Progress, I discovered it again looking through my library for illustrations for my studies. Now familiar with the author, I narrated more of this, amazed at the diligence of pastors in a bygone age to stand between people in their parish and eternity, to batter down all of their infidelity, unbelief, and atheism, and point them to their only Remedy. Books are just not written like this in our day.
