Repentance: Turning from Sin to God

The most important message for every person is that of the need for repentance - by one of the last great Puritan preachers, Thomas Boston (1676-1732).

With wonderful exposition, Boston opens up a multitude of scripture passages on an issue that it is the duty of every Christian to tell the world of - the impending judgment that awaits each one of us, the call for repentance now, and a message of hope and assurance only to be found in Christ.

Endorsement

Author

Thomas Boston (1676–1732) was a Scottish church leader. He was educated at Edinburgh, and licensed in 1697 by the presbytery of Chirnside. In 1699 he became minister of the small parish of Simprin, where there were only 90 examinable persons. His autobiography is a record of Scottish life, with humorous touches, intentional and otherwise. His books, The Fourfold State, The Crook in the Lot, and his Body of Divinity and Miscellanies, had a powerful influence over the Scottish peasantry.
