Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.

It’s no secret I’m a big fan of the Puritans. We all know about many of the Puritan men and their writings, but what about the women? When I saw this book title come across my screen I knew I had to check it out. If I’m honest, I hadn’t even considered Puritan women before so I’m really glad that Jenny-Lyn de Klerk put this book together!
I love prayer books. I think it is because I always need more help with prayer. Several books of Puritan prayers have been released and every time I see a new one I want to check it out. The latest offering is called Into His Presence and it has been edited and arranged by Tim Chester and published by The Good Book Company. As soon as I saw it I knew it was a must have.
I’m once again partnering with my good friends at Westminster Books to bring you a really exciting review today. The Puritans have written works that contain a treasure trove of information. Vast riches can be found within their pages. Countless people have benefited greatly from their works. For the longest time, these have come in the form of Puritan Paperbacks, but now many of the classic works of the Puritans have been bound in beautiful hardcover books and placed in a box set. I’ll go ahead and say straight up that if you value Puritan literature, you’re going to want this box set.
I’ve only recently started reading some works by the Puritans. However, I’ve been a fan of their prayers for quite some time. When you think about Puritan prayers, your mind most likely heads toward the classic The Valley of Vision. It has been the staple collection of Puritan prayers for some time now. I have enjoyed reading and praying through the prayers in The Valley of Vision. The depths of the prayers of the Puritans really makes an impact.
Richard Sibbes was a Puritan pastor that seemed to toe the line well during a time that was full of controversy. Both sides wanted to claim him and he was often said to hold positions that weren't true of him.
