First published in 1681, this powerful meditation on death and the afterlife has been a source of comfort and inspiration for generations of readers. Richard Baxter was a Puritan divine and prolific writer who sought to prepare his followers for the inevitability of death. In this book, he reflects on the words of the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Philippians, and offers insights into the nature of eternal life and the challenges of earthly existence. The book includes a moving introductory essay by H. Stebbing, which adds depth and context to Baxter's powerful words.
