Spiritual Refining: A Treatise of Grace & Assurance, Volumes 1 & 2 by Anthony Burgess
NOTE: If you have ALL THREE volumes of Spiritual Refining: The Anatomy of True and False Conversion then you have the material in these volumes. This set contains all 120 sermons from the original work published in 1652, in order, with the Greek text restored.
Sermons like these are unheard of today. They are not preached because the knowledge of true and false conversion and regeneration are unknown in our time. Conversion has been dumbed down to “Do you want to accept Jesus as your personal Savior? Repeat the words of this prayer.” Preaching on regeneration does not exist. In my opinion, this is one of the best works on true and false conversion ever written. Some of the sermons include: That Opposition Against and Abstinence from Sin is a Sign of Grace; Showing the Difference between True Assurance and Presumption; Fully Clearing That There May be Affections and Sweet Motions of Heart in Holy Things, Which Yet Evidence Not Grace, Nor Accompany Salvation; Zeal and Diligence in False Worship No Ground of Comfort; That Every Peaceable Frame of Heart, and Persuasion of God’s Love, Is Not a Sure Testimony of Saving Grace; The Difficulty, and in Some Sense Impossibility of Salvation Notwithstanding the Easiness Which Men Fancy to Themselves Thereof; Showing What the New Birth or Regeneration Is; Showing How Ignorant Men of Great Learning and Outward Righteousness in the World, May Be of Regeneration; The Ground of the Necessity of Regeneration is the Corruption of Men’s Nature; Laying Open the Counterfeits of a New Birth; Showing that the Production of the New Creature is from God alone, and what Attributes are conspicuous in the work; Showing the Counterfeit of the New Creature; Of the counterfeit of inherent Grace, viz. Natural honesty; and why God hath continued in wicked men the use of Conscience; To Undeceive Men that Think, Though They Live Wickedly, Yet They Shall Die Happily; and That God’s Grace of Conversion, is sometimes vouchsafed to the worst of men. All of the above sermons are from Volume 1. Volume 1 contains 460 pages. Volume 2 is 406 pages. Both volumes are hardbacks. Newly typeset with a larger font than the blue Spiritual Refining volumes. Sold only as a set.

Spiritual Refining: The Anatomy of True and False Conversion, Volume 3, by Anthony Burgess is a classic work on true and false conversion, regeneration, signs of true and false grace, and assurance of salvation. Originally published in 1652. Volume 3 contains the final 60 sermons from the original work. Some of the sermons include: The Gospel Feast, and who Are welcome Guests, and who Not; Church Privileges No Sign of Grace; Zeal and Diligence in False Worship No Ground of Comfort; Characters and Properties of a Gracious Man; Of the counterfeit of inherent Grace, viz. Natural honesty, and why God hath continued in wicked men the use of Conscience; Of the washing and cleansing of a Sinner; Of the Order and Method that God takes in our Conversion, causing us to walk in his Statutes, opposite to the Doctrine of Pelagians, Papists, Arminians, and Moral Philosophy and over fifty more.
Burgess wrote: “We pity those deluded mad men, who are persuaded they are such great persons, and have such large estates, when in the meantime they lie miserable and naked, bound up in chains in a dark dungeon; such a spiritual madness is upon most, who never searched to the bottom of all that filthiness which is in them, and thereupon call themselves grapes and figs when they are thorns and thistles.”

A Practical Treatise on Regeneration by Rev. John Witherspoon. Regeneration is not spoken of much today even in our churches. Most people in the church could probably not even define it. Ezekiel described it this way: “Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 36:26). Jesus Christ spoke about regeneration in his famous dialogue with Nicodemus. Jesus said to him, ‘Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone is not born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.’ In this work John Witherspoon, American Founding Father, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and President of what became Princeton University, explores regeneration in an in depth manner as few have done before or after. The chapter divisions include: 1. Some general Observations on the Metaphor used by the apostle John, Except a man be born again, and the same or similar expressions, to be found in other parts of the Word of God. 2. Wherein this Change doth properly and directly consist, and what are its principal Evidences and Fruits. 3. Of the Steps by which this Change is accomplished and 4. A Conclusion.
“Every child of Adam, by nature, is at enmity with God, and must either be renewed in the spirit of his mind, or perish eternally. It is of no consequence what you are as to outward station, if you are not reconciled to God; it is of no consequence what you are as to outward profession, if you are not inwardly changed.”
“From all this it is easy to see, that the regenerate person must be humble. Believe it, O Christian, so much as you have of humility, so much you have of true religion. So much as your sentiments are altered in this respect, so much you have ground to think the change to be real.” 157 pages. Hardback.

The True Convert: An Exposition of the Parable of the Lost Son is a penetrating verse by verse and sometimes word by word examination of Luke 15:11-32. Rogers uncovers things, which most interpreters completely ignore. He looks at conviction of sin, true and false repentance, genuine faith, and other doctrines as if he were using a microscope. Such thoroughness is not found in works today at all. What should be one of the main controversies of our own time, but sadly is not, is the question of whether a person can be a true convert and yet have his life baron of fruit. Rogers spends much time on this. One of his illustrations of the foolishness of a fruitless profession follows: “A man may be acquainted with them many years, yet not know of what religion they are of...a man cannot tell by their profession. If they be Christians, a man had need be told so, for it doth not appear by their works and actions. Look what course the foolish painter doth take with his ill-favored pictures, writing underneath their names, as, this is a bear, or this a lion, that so all may know them; the same course had we need to take with these, that they may be known to be believers and professors. But let such know, that had they true grace, it would break forth like fire, after it hath been long kept in, and discover itself both by deeds and words (Jeremiah 20:9).” 312 pages. Hardback.

The Monster of Sinful Self-Seeking Anatomized by Edmund Calamy was published in 1655. In it Calamy explores what he calls a spirituall monster with six heads. He explores these heads in detail, as when one who professes to be a Christian, but seeks his own things dividedly from the things of Christ; seeks his own things chiefly and principally; seeks his own things when he pretends to seek the things of Christ; seeks his own things in competition with and in opposition to the things of Christ; and when he seeks the good of his body instead of the good of his soul. He tells us that “Every man by nature, is (Narcissus-like) in love with himself, blind to his own cause, and apt to think that he seeks the things of Christ,when he doth not...So there are multitudes of Christians, who fancy to themselves, that they do seek the things of Christ, when it is apparent to others that they do not: and by this self-deceit cozen themselves into hell.” The book is a strong warning to the church of today. It includes a new introduction by Richard Smith. 40 pages. Paperback. Retail Price $7.95 + $5.00 Shipping. ORDER
A Letter on Protracted Meetings by William Weeks, author of Pilgrim’s Progress Through the Wastelands. During the time of Charles Finney many churches embraced his New Measures of conducting revivals. Many also saw inherent problems with Finney’s evangelism and the New Measures, including Asahel Nettleton. In the midst of the controversy, William Weeks wrote a letter to his former church warning them about the New Measures and outlining how a protracted meeting should be conducted, so that men might be rightly convicted of sin and humbled before God. He warned them of the consequences of allowing the New Measures into their church. His letter endures today and is a brilliant outline of how sound theology must be the basis of any revivals or protracted meetings. His advice is much needed in our churches today!

A Practical Discourse Upon Humility by Edward Pelling.In 1694 Edward Pelling, chaplain to British royalty and the House of Lords, authored a book titled, A Practical Discourse Upon Humility. Humility is not in vogue in our churches today, although it is desperately needed. At one time in the church, men used to know that humility was a foundational Christian character trait, but such a worldly spirit has invaded the church today, that men seem almost oblivious to the necessity of humility in the genuine convert, and instead do not in the least try to hide their pride. They do not even seem to know that pride is of the devil. Some of the chapters are: The Usefulness of Humility, in respect of our Proficiency in Virtue; The Usefulness of Humility, in respect of the many Evils it preserves us from; The Suitableness of Humility to the Mind of Christ; How Humility is to be expressed, by not making our own Esteem the End of our Actions and by Submission to our Superiors; How Humility is to be expressed, by acknowledging our faults; How Humility is to be expressed, by being contented with such things as we have; How Humility is to be expressed, by keeping an Even Temper in a State of Prosperity, and more. Also included in the book is a powerful and humbling sermon by New England Puritan Cotton Mather titled The Dreadful Justice of God in Punishing Sin, with Sin. Hardback. 157 pages.

The Doleful State of the Damned by Samuel Moodey is an exceptional work on hell and the fate of those who are not converted before they die. Moodey believed that many in the church, even in his time, were not genuine believers, and would spend eternity in hell. According to Moodey, “it must needs be a great mistake, to think that all or most church members shall be saved.” The unconverted are sent “out of the world in a false dream: God is merciful; Christ died for sinners; thou hast lived well, and done good...all have their failings. Thus the false title to an eternal kingdom is easily proved in a blind court.” Moodey deals with the decrees of God, the sobering truth that man’s destruction is of himself, the correlation between election and salvation, the apprehensions of the saints’ happiness in heaven by the wicked which will dreadfully aggravate their own eternal misery and a number of other topics. His descriptions are frightening and his theology is sound. Hardback. 138 pages.

The Depravity of Man, the Decress of God, and God’s Sovereign Regeneration by Bennet Tyler. Good freind and biographer of Asahel Nettleton, Tyler was the president of the Theological Institute of Connecticutt for 24 years. He also taught Christian Theology at the seminary and this book is a theological masterpeice. Sermons begin with the original character of man, and proceed to the fall and its consequences, and the native depravity of man. Tyler addresses the decrees of God in several chapters. “The doctrine of decrees has been more violently opposed, and more strenuoously controverted, than almost any other doctrine of the Calvinist system,” writes Tyler. He then turns his attention to moral agency, including natural and moral inability, and what right and wrong are ultimately predicated upon, whether external actions, volitions, or the affections? He spends over eighty pages and six chapters on the doctrine of regeneration, which is seldom if ever, preached today. The book also includes a memoir of Bennet Tyler by Rev. Nahum Gale. Paperback. 382 pages.

The Arraignment of Pride by William Gearing. Pride is one of the most prevalent sins both in and out of the church today. The scriptures make it clear that God hates selfishness and pride. “Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Assuredly, he will not be unpunished” (Proverbs 16:5). “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil. Pride and arrogance, and the evil way, and the perverted mouth I hate” (Proverbs 8:13).The Arraignment of Pride is a work of thirty-four chapters. These include: Of the Causes of Pride, Of the Kinds of Pride, Of Pride of Beauty and the Vanity thereof, Of pride of Gesture, Of Pride of Hair, Of Pride of Riches, Of Pride of Honour, Pride of the Heart, Of Pride in the Will, Of Pride in the Affections, Of Pride of Gifts in general, Of Pride of Wit, Of the Odiousness of Pride, Of the Greatness of this Sin of Pride, Of the Cure of Pride, Christ a great example of Humility in his Life, Christ a notable example of Humility in his Sufferings and Death, and more.

Jonathan Edwards and 21st Century Evangelicalism by William C. Nichols. A penetrating look at modern evangelical Christianity through the eyes of America’s greatest theologian, Jonathan Edwards. Using extensive quotes from Edwards’ sermons,William C. Nichols examines what Edwards believed and taught about true and false conversion, seeking God for conviction of sin and humbling of the heart, and the true message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Modern evangelism has become a religion which exalts the free will of man, encourages selfishness as a motive for “accepting Jesus”, and embraces a form of “Christianity” that does not require a real change of heart or life. It has led to countless false conversions and our churches being filled with unconverted members, leaders, and pastors. This book compares and contrasts the theology of Jonathan Edwards with that of modern day evangelical Christianity and in so doing deals a serious blow to modern evangelicalism. It is composed of Nichols’ introductions to Edwards’ sermons in the books Seeking God, Knowing the Heart, and The True Gospel. If you have all of our books in the Edwards series, then you have the material in this volume. If you don’t have all of our Edwards volumes, then this book is highly recommended. Hardback. 422 Pages.

The True Gospel: Jonathan Edwards on Eternal Salvation edited by William C. Nichols. The church at the beginning of the 21st century is saturated with false doctrine. From the lack of preaching on sin, to the diminishing of the doctrine of hell, the omitting of the doctrine of repentance, the preaching of the “repeat the words of this prayer” salvation, the modern gospel is a perversion of the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Commitment to Christ has been dumbed-down to mean nothing more than a one-time repetition of a prayer no matter how the person lives thereafter. There are fifteen sermons in the book with all but one taken from the original handwritten manuscripts of Jonathan Edwards and including commentary by William C. Nichols contrasting the gospel Edwards preached with the false gospel of today. Some of the sermons in the book include: That Wicked Men though for a While They may Seem to Forsake their Sins, Yet if their Natures are Not Changed They will be Very Liable to Return to Them Again; God Is a Consuming Fire; That the Entrance into Eternal Life is a Strait and Narrow Passage; That If we Would be Christ’s Disciples it is Necessary that we should Deny Ourselves; Not Every One that Saith unto me Lord, Lord, Shall Enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that Doth the Will of my Father which is in Heaven; Sudden Conversions Are Very Often False; God Sometimes Punishes Sin by Giving Men Up to Sin; Though a People that Live under Means are Wont in General to Seek and Hope for Salvation yet ’tis the Election Only that Obtain and the Rest are Blinded; ’Tis Greatly to be Desired That We Should Have a Thorough and Not a Slight and Deceitful Cure of Our Spiritual Wound; Persons in Seeking Heaven Should Behave in Like Manner as Resolute Soldiers do in Taking a Country or Kingdom in Which They are Strongly Opposed; God Unalterably Determines the Limits of Every Man’s Life, and more.

Judas Iscariot: Traitor by William C. Nichols. To many Judas Iscariot is a man of mystery. Modern theologians have elevated him to a place next to Christ in heaven. Since the mid 19th century many have proclaimed him a revolutionary patriot. The Puritans called him a covetous wretch and a traitor. In this new work, William C. Nichols examines Judas in myth and legend, and Judas in his roles as apostle, covetous hypocrite, traitor, son of perdition, false penitent, and suicide. He also looks at the unregenerate heart and the sovereignty of God in the life of the most infamous man in history. There are many lessons that can be learned from a study of Judas Iscariot which can help us today. There have always been multitudes in the churches that are very much like Judas and will share his fate in eternity. The chapters in the book are Judas in Myth and Legend, Judas the Apostle, The Unregenerate Heart, Judas the Covetous Hypocrite, Judas the Traitor, Judas the Son of Perdition, Judas and Sovereignty, The Repentance of Judas Iscariot, The Suicide of Judas Iscariot, and Learning from the Life and Death of Judas Iscariot.

Instructions to the Afflicted by Nathanael Emmons. Who among us has not experienced bereavement, suffering, affliction, or distress? None who have lived very long in this world can claim to be exempt. How many will never experience the death of a loved one and the pain which comes with it? Although many live in the world as if they shall never die, how many will ultimately cheat the shrouded figure of death? Will you? The sermons in this book are unlike anything you will hear from the pulpit today, regardless of the circumstances. They deal with all aspects of affliction and suffering; but unlike the presumptions of men, they begin with a sovereign God who determines all things; therefore, there is a reasonableness to them founded upon the word of God.
This book contains 38 sermons on bereavement, affliction, and suffering. Some of the sermons are: Death Without Order, Burdens Cast Upon God, Benefit of Afflictions, Divine Providence Incomprehensible, Every One Disposed to Think His Afflictions Peculiarly Severe, Death in Early Life, Expectation of Long Life Unwise, A Warning to Youth, The Troubles of Life Divinely Appointed, and many others.

Five Marks of a False Prophet CD by Evangelist Rolfe Barnard. One of the best sermons ever preached by Rolfe Barnard (1904-1969). Barnard understood the difference between true and false conversion and in this sermon exposes the false methods of evangelism so widely used today. He clearly shows how to recognize the false prophets of our time, who may seem to be very fine men, but preach a false gospel. Who knows? The pastor of your church may be one of them. Inspiring and badly needed by the church today. In memory of Ruth Nichols.

The Existence and Attributes of Satan by Thaddeus McRae is a book which focuses on the origin, character, attributes, powers, and actions of the great enemy of God. Satan has deluded millions through the lust of the world, the lusts of the flesh, and the pride of life and he continues his destructive actions today through the false gospel being preached by most churches. This book exposes the enemy of the souls of men. This is a unique book which is about Satan, not Satanism. McRae tells us: “There is a personal devil. He is known by several names: ‘The god of this world,’ 2 Corinthians 4:4; ‘Beelzebub the chief of the devils,’ Luke 11:15; ‘the devil and his angels,’ Matt. 25:41; ‘the dragon,’ Rev. 12:7; ‘the angel of the bottomless pit,’ Rev. 9:11; Rev. 12:9; and ‘the accuser of the brethren,’ Rev. 12:10. ‘the great dragon, that old serpent the devil, and Satan the deceiver’...He is likewise represented as possessing character. He is described as a deceiver, Rev. 12:9; as a murderer, John 8:44; the wicked one, 1 John 3:12; liar, John 8:44; and the tempter, Matthew 4:3.”
Some of the chapters include: The Existence of Satan, The Origin of Satan, The Nature and Character of Satan, The Physical Power of Satan, The Miraculous Power of Satan, Demoniacs, The Moral Power of Satan, and The Doom of Satan. Also contains the autobiography of Thaddeus McRae published for the first time.168 pages. Paperback.

The Soul’s Implantation by Thomas Hooker. Thomas Hooker had an amazing God-given understanding of how the Holy Spirit works in conviction of sin, humbling the sinner, and breaking him of his pride in the conversion process that few before or since have possessed. To Hooker conversion was a process, wrought by Almighty God over a period of time, not something accomplished in a moment by the sinner repeating the words of a prayer. Conversion today in most churches is as easy as 1-2-3. Questions such as: “Do you admit you are a sinner? Do you believe that Jesus died for your sins? Would you like to accept Jesus as your personal Savior?” are ludicrous nonsense when compared to the Bible and Puritan theology. That a person can “be a Christian on his way to heaven” who does not follow Jesus Christ in obedience is a perversion of the gospel message. Thomas Hooker in all his works shows clearly that a man must be broken and humbled for his sins before he can saved. In The Soul’s Implantation, Hooker tells us that it is not enough for a man to be sorry for his sins: “As it is with vessels that are old and bruised, a little washing and mending will not serve the turn, but they must be all taken in pieces, and made up new: so we are all vessels of wrath by nature, and a little patching will not serve the turn. It is not enough for a man to say he is sorry for his sins, but his heart must be thoroughly humbled and broken, then he is fit to be made a vessel of grace here, and of glory hereafter.” There are four separate treatises in The Soul’s Implantation: 1. The Broken Heart, on Isaiah 57:15; 2. The Preparation of the Heart, on Luke 1:17; 3. The Soul’s Engrafting into Christ, on Malachi 3:1; and 4. Spiritual Love and Joy, on Galatians 5:22.

A Plaine and Faithful Exposition of the Tenne Commandements by John Dod was one of the best selling books of the early 1600s. This edition of Dod's work is a facsimile reproduction of the 1617 edition printed by the Mayflower Pilgrim, Elder William Brewster, in Leyden, Holland. In this nearly 300 page work, Dod systematically examines the meaning of each one of the ten commandments in detail, drawing applications sure to bring conviction of sin to even the most godly person. As the Apostle Paul said, "I knew not sin, but by the Law." (Romans 7:7, Geneva BIble). Dod was one of the most respected of the early English Puritans. It was John Dod and Thomas Hooker between them who brought the famously melancholic Joan Drake of Esher out of her spiritual distress before her death in 1625, as recorded in A Firebrand Taken Out of the Fire. This is not a modernized edition, but appears exactly as printed in 1617. Contains introductory material on The Pilgrim Press and a brief biography of John Dod. 308 pages. Paperback.

A Solemn Warning to the Secure World, From the God of Terrible Majesty by Gilbert Tennent. Gilbert Tennent was known as a son of thunder. This is his most powerful work, published at the dawn of the Great Awakening in 1735, in which Tennent was active as an itinerant preacher. Subtitled "The Presumptuous Sinner Detected, His Pleas Considered, and his Doom Displayed" this book is a masterpiece in which Tennent proves the strong proneness of mankind to entertain a false confidence; shows the causes and foundations of this delusion; exposes the folly, sinfulness and dangerous consequences of such a presumptuous hope, and gives directions on how to obtain that scriptural and rational hope, which maketh not ashamed. Tennent was motivated by his strong belief that most in the churches in his time, including the pastors, were unconverted. How much more is this true today!! 236 pages. Clothbound.

The Broad Way and The Narrow Way by Arthur W. Pink. Jesus Christ’s description of the broad way and the narrow way has for centuries sparked controversy regarding how few will actually be saved. Arthur Pink's examination of Matthew 7:13-27 exposefs the errors of modern false teachers and of the modern false gospel itself. Pink examines the broad and the narrow way, false prophets, wise and foolish builders, and the reality that what is being preached today in most churches is a false gospel which will end in eternity in hell for those who trust in it. Pink says: "Certain it is, my reader, that any preacher who rejects Gods Law, who denies repentance to be a condition of salvation, who assures the giddy and godless that they are loved by God, who declares that saving faith is nothing more than an act of the will which every person has the power to perform, is a false prophet, and should be shunned as a deadly plague." Chapters include The Way of Salvation, Narrow Is the Way Which Leadeth unto Life, False Prophets: Deniers of the Necessity of Holiness, False Prophets: So-Called “Evangelical Ministers”, True and False Prophets Contrasted, The Causes of Self-Deceit, The Wonderful Works of the Workers of Iniquity, Digging Deep, Another Gospel, and more. 155 pages.

Pilgrim’s Progress Through the Wastelands of Heresy and Revivalism by William Weeks. Journey with the pilgrims Thoughtful and Ardent as they encounter numerous adversaries and enemies to true godliness travelingl the same road that Bunyan’s pilgrims did hundreds of years before. Preachers like Dr. Smoothman, Mr. Blindguide, and Mr. Save-all espouse their doctrines to all who will listen, and many are happy with what they hear from them. Soon after starting their journey, Thoughtful and Ardent meet fellow pilgrims Feel-well, Love-self, and No-law, who come into the way through the stile of The Hypocrite’s Hope, and whose theology differs greatly from their own. As a chronicle of how we got where we are today in doctrine and practice, especially regarding our evangelistic practices, Pilgrim’s Progress Through the Wastelands of Heresy and Revivalism, stands as a masterful work which needs to be read by all who profess to be Christians. The main characters in this book are real people and the highly entertaining narrative instructs and informs the reader of heresy and error prevailent in the church today through the eyes of real historical events. Two of the characters are Mr. Bold, who represents Charles Finney, and Mr. Meek, who represents Asahel Nettleton. In these pages the classic struggle which changed Christian theology are recorded by one of the eyewitnesses to the events, Rev. William Weeks. Although written in 1848, you will recognize clearly the message of today’s churches in the narrative story of this book and it will change the way you think about modern Christianity.

The Almost Christian Discovered by Matthew Mead is a classic work written in 1661. The primary doctrine which Mead considers is this: “There are very many in the world that are almost, and yet but almost Christians; many that are near heaven, and yet are never the nearer; many that are within a little of salvation, and yet shall never enjoy the least salvation; they are within sight of heaven, and yet shall never have a sight of God.” Mead looks at twenty signs which most would clearly say were true of Christians and then shows plainly, using biblical examples, how each one of them may be equally true of non-Christians. Some of those signs are: A man may have much knowledge; he may know much of God, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may go far in opposing his sin, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may hate sin, and be but almost a Christian; A man may have great hopes of heaven, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may be under great and visible changes, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may be much in prayer, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may have faith, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may have a love to the people of God, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may obey the commands of God, and yet be but almost a Christian.” John MacArthur has written of The Almost Christian Discovered: “This volume offers a much needed antidote to the shallowness and flipancy that characterizes today’s Christianity. It contrasts sharply with the modern tendency to embrace as a brother or sister in the faith everyone who names the name of Christ. It sounds an alarm that few today would dare even whisper. In fact, The Almost Christian Discovered provides sobering proof of how far the contemporary church had slipped from the moorings of her heritage.” Newly typeset with archaic spellings changed.

The Mystery of Self-Deceiving by Daniel Dyke was first published in 1614. It was republished numerous times in the next twenty years and was among the books Elder William Brewster brought with him to America on the Mayflower in 1620. It is perhaps the greatest work on self-deception, sin, and the human heart ever written. “This frightening book assumes that in order to be able to deal with man’s religious difficulty one must first understand it fully. It then proceeds to dissect the human heart fibre by fibre and cell by cell. No corner is left unexplored, no crevice forgotten, no raw nerve kept mercifully unexposed. Sin’s devious subterfuges and disguises are discovered and labeled, No corner is left unexplored, no crevice forgotten, no raw nerve kept mercifully unexposed. Sin’s devious subterfuges and disguises are discovered and labeled, their specific causes and results catalogued. Various deceits and follies of man are examined minutely both with regard to omission and commission. Dyke’s analyses are perhaps the most acute which can be found among the various diagnosticians of the spiritual life...Protestantism has produced no other treatise in which the psychology of sin was more exhaustively treated than in Dyke’s Mystery of Self-Deceiving.” Some of the thirty-one chapters in this book are: Of the Greatness of the Heart’s Deceitfulness, and of the Cause of her Deceitfulness; Of the Unsearchableness of the Heart, and of Six Notes to Discover it by; Of the Deceit of the Heart in translating the Sin from ourselves upon some other Cause; Of the Deceit whereby we Judge ourselves not to be so Evil, as indeed we are; Of the Deceits of three several Sorts of men, the Rich Worldling, the Civil Justiciary, the Loose Libertine; Of the Deceits of the Temporary Believer’s Faith and Feelings; and Of the deceits of the Temporary in the outward Practice of Repentance.

A Treatise of Sin: The Deceitfulness of the Heart Unmasked by Anthony Burgessis probably one of the greatest books ever written on the deceitfulness of the human heart. It was first written in 1654 and published as A Treatise of Sin. The book is a masterpiece on the heart’s deceitfulness in sin, and formality and hypocrisy in religion. Anthony Burgess’ work contains 42 sermons that pierce to the depths of the soul in exposing false religion and the worthless props men lean on to justify themselves before God.
Burgess was a master in understanding the heart of man and true and false conversion. The sermons in A Treatise of Sin: The Deceitfulness of the Heart Unmasked cover such topics as the Heart’s Deceitfulness in the Matter of Repentance, The Woeful Aggravations of the Deceitfulness of Man’s Heart, That All Sins and Transgressions are Damnable Errors, The Ingredients and Aggravations of Presumptuous Sins, Discoveries of Reigning Sin in a Man with its Aggravations, Of Having Only a Name to Live, The Properties of Gross Hypocrisy in the Matters of Religion, and A Discovery of Close Hypocrisy with the Causes of it.
In our day when a mere intellectual assent to the facts of the gospel or repeating the words of a prayer is all that seems necessary for many pastors to proclaim a man saved, this book is desperately needed. Burgess preached against the errors of his day and his book is a cure for those of our day. Anthony Burgess warned, “Oh what a woeful condition is it for a man at the same time to be blessing himself, and God abhorring of him, while thou art saying: Soul take thine ease; God to be commanding the devils to take thy soul, yet in this condition most live.” Sadly, this is also the condition that most in our present day churches live in. 42 sermons never before published in a newly typeset edition. 330 pp. Clothbound.

A Guide to Christ was written by Solomon Stoddard, grandfather of Jonathan Edwards, to instruct ministers how to work with those who were under conviction of sin, and who were seeking God, in order to lead them to Christ rightly. Stoddard experienced several seasons of genuine revival during his pastorate at Northampton, Massachusetts. He had observed how the Spirit of God worked in the lives of men during these times. He, more than almost any other person of his day, knew the windings and turnings of the human heart. He was not fooled by presumptuous hopes and false religious affections. The Puritans knew that there must be preparatory work by the Spirit of God in convicting a person of their sins and humbling their heart before they could truly believe. Solomon Stoddard believed that this conviction of sin and humbling of the heart was a necessity, but even in his day there were those who did not believe in the necessity of this preparatory work, prompting Stoddard to write these words: “Some there be that do deny any necessity of the preparatory work of the Spirit of God, in order to a closing with Christ, This is a very dark cloud, both as it is an evidence that such men have not the experience of that work in their own souls: and as it is a sign that such men are utterly unskilful in guiding others that are under this work; if this opinion should prevail in the land, it would give a deadly wound to religion, it would expose men to think themselves converted when they are not.” We are now living in a day when Stoddard’s prediction has come true. A Guide to Christ is perhaps the best book ever written on this subject. Our version was taken from the 1742 edition and for the first time ever, it contains a table of contents so that the reader can easily navigate to different topics within the book. 99 pages.

Rebukes for Sin by the Burning of the Wicked in Hell by Thomas Doolittle. Hell is so little preached today that most people in the world do not believe it is a real place, nor do they believe that they will ever go there. The climate of modern Christianity is one of the main reasons why this book is so important. How is it that we have come to a place in our society when large numbers of people in the church don't believe in a literal hell? Today's pastors build large megachurches by denying the most fundamental aspects of the faith like the doctrine of hell, appealing to the itching ears of their congregations. Thomas Doolittle has answers for our modern heretics in Rebukes for Sin by the Flames of Hell. Doolittle begins by answering a series of nine of the most common questions that people ask about hell, included are: Will God punish sinners after this life? Is there such a place as hell and such a thing as hellfire? Why has God appointed such a place? Who are they that shall be burned in this fire? Will the greatest part of men burn in this fire? Will there be degrees of pain and torment in this fire? Then he deals with issues like the names used for hell in the Bible, the extremity of the pains of the damned, the eternal unending nature of the torments in hell, the differences between fire on earth and fire in hell, and the characters of those who will be burned in hell. All the while Doolittle asks probing and penetrating questions of the reader to get him to evaluate his own condition, and uses striking imagery to terrify the ungodly. 105 pages.

Practical Christianity Illustrated by Samuel Walker. First published in the 1700's this work probes in depth what true Christianity really is. Walker was a pastor for years before realizing that he was unconverted, even though outwardly living a very moral life. Practical Christianity Illustrated penetrates the heart and exposes the sin and depravity in the hearts of all. He draws clear distinctions between the truly converted and the unconverted heart. Added to the original work are biographical material and A Scheme of Private Instruction, detailing Walker's counseling work with unbelievers, from The Life and Ministry of the Rev. Samuel Walker, B.A. by Edwin Sidney. Also included are sermons The Helplessness of Man, The Holiness of God, and The Believer a New Creature from another of Walker's works, The Christian. Taken together this book provides a look at the human heart and true conversion which are rarely seen or preached today. Walker said, "It is plain from the case of Ahab and Judas, and many others recorded in Scripture, that men may have some stinging sense of guilt, of their liableness to wrath, especially for some particular sins, who notwithstanding never attain unto a saving conviction of sin. And this, it is to be feared, is every day the case of many who stop in awakenings and a galling sense of guilt arising merely from particular transgressions, while, in the meantime, have never seen the fact of their fallen nature, they have never seen the most distinguished and eminent part of their guilt, and so never arrive unto an inward and saving conversion; but catch hastily at some false relief from their distress, and rest in something or other miscalled faith, while they are entirely void of the thing itself, namely, a living principle which purifies the heart."

Selfishness: The Essence of Moral Depravity by Nathanael Emmons is a collection of twenty sermons by Nathanael Emmons on the vital issues of sin, human depravity, and the judgment of God. In these sermons Emmons explains the sinful human condition in a way which sheds clear light on the heart of the sinner, so that even the most hardened sinner can understand his corruption. Emmons wrote: "All sin is of the same nature, and essentially consists in selfishness. Sin is a transgression of the law of love; and nothing but selfishness is a transgression of that law. God commands all men to love him supremely, and one another as themselves. When any man loves himself more than God, and his own good more than the good of any of his fellow-creatures, he is totally selfish; and his selfishness is a transgression of the divine law. All sinfulness may be traced to selfishness as its source. Men never act from any worse than selfish motives." The message of this book is vital to true Christianity. Some of the sermons in this volume are The Sin of Following the Multitude to Do Evil, Secure Sinners Love Their Security, Selfishness the Essence of Moral Depravity, The Deceitfulness of the Human Heart, Christ Will Reject Mercenary Followers, The Moral Inability of Sinners, The Character and State of Judas, Reprobation, and The Vindictive Justice of God.

Pink had keen insight into the very problems we face today regarding the compromising of the gospel message saying, "Tens of thousands of professing Christians are filled with a vain and presumptuous confidence that all is well with them. They delude themselves with hopes of mercy while continuing to live in a course of self-will and self-pleasing. They fancy they are fitted for Heaven, while every day that passes finds them the more prepared for Hell." 160 pages. Paperback.

Punishment By Death: A Defense of Capital Punishment by George B. Cheever. George B. Cheever was the pastor the Church of the Puritans in New York City and author of numerous books, including Lectures on The Pilgrim's Progress. Cheever approaches the issue of capital punishment for murder primarily on the basis of what the Bible teaches in both the Old and New Testaments. Beginning with Genesis 9:6, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, my man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he man," Cheever systematically works his way through the Old Testament and then answers the arguments raised by modern religious opponents of capital punishment by using the words of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul and other New Testament passages to support the Biblical position. In addition to his arguments directly relating to Bible texts, some of the topics Cheever covers are: The difference between justice and revenge; the ends of punishment considered; the difference between punishment in this life and in the life to come; fearfulness and efficacy of punishment by death; the potential repentance of the criminal; what constitutes the perfect criminal jurisprudence; how the abrogation of the punishment of death places a premium on the crime of murder; the reality of retributive justice; and imprisonment for life vs. punishment by death. 212 pages.

Self-Deception by Jacob Helffenstein, Jonathan Edwards, and William C. Nichols. "Among the twelve apostles there was a traitor. Among the thousands numbered as converts during the great revival which commenced on Pentecost, there were an Ananias and a SapphiraIn almost every church, however pure, are perhaps some whom a deceived heart hath turned aside."

The Application of Redemption by Thomas Hooker. Perhaps the greatest work ever written on the conversion of a sinner to God. Thomas Hooker had an amazing God-given understanding of how the Holy Spirit works in conviction of sin, humbling the sinner, and breaking him of his pride in the conversion process that few before or since have possessed. To Hooker conversion was a process, wrought by Almighty God over a period of time, not something accomplished in a moment by the sinner repeating the words of a prayer. The modern gospel offers a Christ without conviction of sin, the breaking of pride, or the humbling of the heart for sin. The Holy Spirit is not necessary for the conversion of sinners in the 21st century gospel. Contrition and humilation for sin are unknown today, but Thomas Hooker considered them fundamental to true conversion. In The Application of Redemption, Thomas Hooker offers us some potent medicine so desperately needed by today's church: "Contrition loosens a man from his sin, makes him see an absolute necessity to be another man, or else he is a damned man. Humiliation loosens a man from himself, makes him see an utter insufficiency in what he hath or doth, for to procure the least spiritual relief unto his soulsuch as are of necessity required, that the heart may be fitted for the impression of faith, and by it for the entertainment of the Lord Christ."

The Soul's Humiliation by Thomas Hooker
The humbling of the pride of man's heart is a deep subject. Most of those who profess Christ today know nothing of it.

In this work Thomas Hooker lays out the case for the necessity of the humbling of the soul and the abasing of a man's pride before salvation can take place. 182 pages. Clothbound.

Private Thoughts on Religion by Thomas Adam
Private reflections from the notes and diary of Rev. Thomas Adam (1701-1784), rector of Wintringham, which will pierce the heart and humble the soul. "Mr. Adam takes us out of our ordinary track of reading and reflection, and shows us ourselves. He structinizes the whole soul; dissipates the false glare which is apt to mislead the judgment; and thus teaches us to make our religion more and more spiritual, holy, solid, practical, humble, sincere...The characteristic of the entire volume is depth of scriptural and experimental knowledge. It requires, therefore, thought and time, in order to be appreciated. But it will amply repay both. And it may perhaps, be affirmed, that there is no work of modern Divinity which is more likely, under God's blessing, to elevate and purify the standard of religious sentiment in those who study it." Adam's thoughts are arranged topically in such headings as God, Repentance, Human Depravity, Jesus Christ, Faith, the Christian Life, Prayer, the Pastoral Office, Heaven, and the Scriptures. One of the most humbling works you will ever read. 300 pages.

It is a message which is desperately needed today, when large numbers profess to be Christians without ever having had any sensible conviction of sin.

The Justice of God in the Damnation of Sinners by Jonathan Edwards
The sermon of which Edwards said, "I have never found so much immediate saving fruit, in any measure, of any discourses I have offered to my congregation, as some from these words, Romans 3:19. 'That every mouth may be stopped;' endeavouring to show from thence, that it would be just with God forever to reject and cast off natural men." A powerful message!

Fire and Brimstone in Hell by Thomas Vincent
Puritan evangelism at its best! In this classic work, originally published as a portion of a larger book, Thomas Vincent graphically describes hell as a place of fire and brimstone, the properties of hell-fire, the persons who shall burn eternally in the flames of hell, and adds a lengthy application section containing a use of reproof and terror for the awakening of the wicked and ungodly out of their carnal security. The Puritans strongly believed that the Spirit of God uses the doctrine of hell more than any other to the awakening and conversion of sinners.
