Who doesn’t want to be happy? This historically praised work by Westminster Divine Francis Rous masterfully explains how you may attain true happiness, both now and into eternity. I don’t know of a better work on this subject than this puritan gem!

The Christian’s Duty Towards Reformation – by Thomas Ford (1598–1674)

Are you ready for Reformation to occur? Thomas Ford says that you must not only be ready for it to occur, but that you must be settled to see it through to the end. This is EVERY Christian’s duty before God daily. Ford masterfully deals with Josiah’s reformation, and why it did not last through to the end after the King’s death. This is truly an important work on discerning the manner in which God will bless true biblical reformation.

A Discourse on Self-Examination – by Nathaniel Vincent (1639-1697)

There are, among Puritans, “best” works written on various subjects. On the doctrine of self-examination, this may very well be the best extra-biblical work written. Vincent biblically and exegetically deals with the practical nature of self-examination for the Christian, and how the Christian is distinguished from the heathen.
