An Honest and Well Experienced Heart: The Piety of John Flavel – eBook

An Honest, Well-Experienced Heart introduces us to the life and writings of Puritan preacher and author John Flavel (1627 1691). In his brief, introductory biography, Adam Embry discusses Flavel's background, ministry, and theology of keeping the heart, which, for Flavel, is the great business of a Christian's life. Centuries ago, Flavel wrote, Above all other studies in the world, study your own hearts. Embry guides us through forty-two short passages from Flavel's writings that acquaint us with this dedicated Puritan minister's piety and help us see the importance of this great business of keeping and managing our hearts.
