A Cheerful & Constant Use Of The Means & Helps Appointed By God: Richard Baxter
I’ve recently begun reading Baxter’s monumental “A Christian Directory, Or A Sum Of Practical Theology And Cases Of Consience.” In this post I provide a quotation of a brief section in which he next lays out the road map of spiritual growth.

It will take Christian courage in an age of liberals and sects to grow deeper roots and provide a more secure and fruitful future.
