Laurie, I am on a Puritan kick! I posted on my blog last year's Puritan Book Challenge that I'd like to try and keep up with. On top of that, I am reading Watson's "A Body of Divinity" for our Puritan Book Club at church. So, we not only like Pink we also both love the wisdom and God-loving / fearing Puritans. You are so right about them being unlike their stern stereotype. Their high view of God and their proper view of self instilled a deep love and appreciation for their Savior. I read the Puritans with amazement and a desire for even a fraction of their faith. Would God grant that to us! Thanks for sharing your list of favorites. I've only just started reading the Puritans and am looking forward to many many pages of choice gleanings. I knew it I knew it!!!! Laurie, I am on a Puritan kick!

The Mortification of Sin, Come & Welcome to Jesus Christ & Precious Remedies are standing on my shelf for this year - thanks for the other titles!

It is so true that the Puritans have much to teach us about accepting and thanking God for his providences. Thomas Brooks' Precious Remedies is, I think, particularly helpful and simple to read for those who have not read any Puritan literature before. I look forward to reading the other books you suggested. Thank you again for reminding us to trust God and seek His comfort in the Word. Laurie,
