Reformation Heritage Books

This book is a collection of ten sermons not found in any other work of Watson’s in print today. Some of the sermons included are “A Christian on Earth Still in Heaven,” “Christ’s Loveliness,” “The Beauty of Grace,” “The Saint’s Desire to be with Christ,” and “The Spiritual Watch.” These sermons are vintage Watson—pastoral and easy to understand, rich with illustration, and abounding in application.

Author  Thomas Watson graduated from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he was known for being a hard student. He was a man of considerable learning, a popular but judicious preacher, and eminent in the gift of prayer. He is one of the most popular of all English Puritans and, certainly, one of the most readable. Watson pastored at St. Stephen's Walbrook in London. The building in which he pastored was destroyed by fire in 1666. After being ejected in 1662, he continued ministering in London for many years. He retired to Essex, where he died suddenly while at prayer.
