    About this ebook

    As the Christian life does not begin without means, neither can it grow without them.

    The Christian life can be daunting, especially in a world hostile to the ways of God. But the good news is that the God who calls us to be holy has also appointed helpful means so that we can grow in godliness. In Holy Helps for a Godly Life , Richard Rogers shows what the means of godliness are, describes their nature, and explains how they should be used. God has promised to give grace to those who use these means in a right and reverent way, and those who use these means in faith will discover their value for themselves.

    Interest in the Puritans continues to grow, but many people find reading these giants of the faith a bit unnerving. This series seeks to overcome that barrier by presenting Puritan books that are convenient in size and unintimidating in length. Each book is carefully edited with modern readers in mind, smoothing out difficult language of a bygone era while retaining the meaning of the original authors. Books for the series are thoughtfully selected to provide some of the best counsel on important subjects that people continue to wrestle with today.

      Very helpful and accessible material, very pertinent to the life of any believer in Christ. Can’t help but be humbled and impressed by the obvious devotion to Christ the writer shows. Very practical advice as well and some areas of daily habits introduced to me that’d I’d never thought on before - eg ‘Watchfulness’.

      The editors did a great job of abridging and updating the language to make it easier to read in this day and age.
