‘To read the work of a Puritan doctor of the soul is to enter a rich world of spiritual theology to feed the mind, heart-searching analysis to probe the conscience, Christ-centred grace to transform the heart, and wise counsel to direct the life. This series of Pocket Puritans provides all this in miniature, but also in abundance.’ — SINCLAIR B. FERGUSON<\/p>\n
Thomas Case, a prisoner of the Lord during dark days for the gospel in England, believed that \u2018Discourses on affliction can never be out of season . . . Providence has so ordered that whosoever will follow the Lord fully like Caleb (Num. 14:24) will be exposed to the world\u2019s hatred, but the glorious Spirit will rest upon them (1 Pet. 4:14). With persuasive arguments drawn from God\u2019s Word and verified by his own experience, he convinces us that God\u2019s rod and God\u2019s love may stand together, for \u2018the Lord disciplines those he loves\u2019. Here in When Christians Suffer<\/em> is sweet comfort for all of Christ\u2019s cross-bearing disciples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Endorsement ‘To read the work of a Puritan doctor of the soul is to enter a rich world of spiritual theology to feed the mind, heart-searching analysis to probe the conscience, Christ-centred grace to transform the heart, and wise counsel to direct the life.
