Matthew Mead guides Christians who wish to know whether they have taken the spiritual and emotional steps necessary to attain conversion to the faith. Mead takes a multi-faceted approach to conversion; the journey of Christians varies in length, some must walk far and do much to enter the faith. Many must try for successive years, held back by personal circumstances or persistent shortfalls of character. What keeps a person 'almost Christian' is discussed at length, with examples given of those who frequently come close, but do not quite make it and become true believers in the Lord. The central pillar of Christian belief is the admission that Christ is the keystone to all salvation; there can be no half-measures in this. Another common pitfall is refusing to accept aspects of Christ's divinity, or his prophecies or his being the Son of God. Refusing to give up a sin, be it one of pride, lust or weak will, is another trait that keeps a believer 'almost Christian'. Writing in the mid-17th century, Mead was part of the Puritan movement, working as an educator and lecturer on religious topics. He worked at multiple churches in England and in Holland, and was affiliated to the east London borough of Stepney for most of his life.

To those who were the auditors of these sermons-grace and peace be multiplied. Beloved, what the meaning of that providence was, that called me to the occupation of my talent among you this summer, will be best read and understood by the effects of it upon your own souls. The kindly increase of grace and holiness in heart and life, can only prove it to have been in mercy. Where this is not the fruit of the Word, there it becomes a judgment. The Word of God travels with life or death, salvation or damnation-and brings forth one or the other in every soul that hears it. I would not for a world (were it in my power to make the choice) that my labors, which were meant and designed for the promotion of your immortal souls to the glory of heaven, in a present pursuance of the things of your peace-should be found to have been a ministration of death and condemnation, in the great day of Jesus Christ. Yet this the Lord knows, is the too common effect of the most plain and powerful preaching of the gospel. May the mighty God, whose prerogative it is to teach to profit, whether by the tongue or the pen, by speaking or writing-bless this tract, that it may be to you as a cloud of rain to the dry ground, dropping fatness to your soul, that so your fleece being watered with the "dew of heaven," you may "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
