Jeremiah Burroughs wrote about contentment from the middle of seventeenth-century upheaval — exile, war, uncertainty. His counsel has steadied Christian souls for nearly four hundred years.

This edition brings his teaching into plain English, with reflection prompts for personal devotion or group study — faithful to the original's depth, accessible to today's reader.

"A Christian finds contentment not by addition but by subtraction." — Jeremiah Burroughs, 1648

Henry Scougal wrote this as a letter to a close friend — direct, personal, and unflinching about what true faith actually requires, not merely what it looks like from the outside.

This edition restores his account of a living, inward faith into modern English, keeping the pastoral warmth and none of the theological weight lost.

"I call true religion a life, because it is steady and lasting." — Henry Scougal

Thomas Boston served a Scottish congregation that knew real hardship, and The Crook in the Lot was his answer to the question every one of them eventually asked: why won't this change?

This modern edition keeps his answer intact — honest about suffering, and steady in its trust that none of it is wasted.

"What do you do with the bend in your life that will not straighten?" — Thomas Boston
