Description
Richard Baxter wrote this book in 1650 while gravely ill, fully expecting to die. He recovered and lived another four decades. But what he wrote in that season of reckoning became one of the most widely read books in the English-speaking world for the next two hundred years, and it has never stopped being true.
Heaven is not far. For the believer, it is one step away.
In an age that rarely speaks of eternity, Baxter speaks of almost nothing else. With pastoral tenderness and theological precision, he calls the weary soul to fix its gaze on what is coming; the everlasting rest that awaits those who are Christ’s. This is not escapism. It is the most grounding act a Christian can perform.
This edition preserves Baxter’s own language, carefully corrected and prepared for reading, with subheadings, chapter summaries, and study questions to guide your journey through the text.
For the Christian in the later years of life, facing loss, or simply longing for something more permanent than this world can offer: Baxter has been here before you. And he knows the way home.
