| Over 300 years ago, God gave the church the best Gospel-centered Puritan preacher I know of in Thomas Boston. His sermons, tracts, books and writings are truly an amazing gift to Christianity because Boston cuts through the clutter of our lives and leads us directly into the presence of God... where Boston preaches a total hope in Christ. If you are Christ-centered in your theology, read Boston! If not, then read and re-read Boston! This 3,460 Page Set of Volumes 7 - 12 will Completes the Entire Works of Thomas Boston. Volume 7 - Retail $45 , 555 pages Volume seven contains Edward Fisher's "The Marrow of Modern Divinity" with Boston's notes. Fisher's book contrasting the Covenant of Works and the Covenant of Grace as well as Boston's notes are excellent reads. Several uplifting sermons are included as well. "Explication of the First Part of Assembly's Shorter Catechism" is also in this volume. Volume 8 - Retail $45 , 612 pages Volume eight contains "Human Nature" in which Boston exhorts us on the depravity of man. This is somewhat of a harsh wake up call; it reveals furthermore the great blessing we have in Christ's forgiveness. "The Covenant of Grace" is also included and it's refreshing to read and be reminded of the hope we have in Christ. Boston teaches us on how we can't ever understand the grandness of our forgiveness unless we understand the tragedy of our sin. Volume 9 and Volume 10 - Retail $85 , 1093 pages Volume nine and ten are filled with sermons covering multiple topics. Subjects range from baptism, the nature of Christ, Christian living, and a multitude of other subjects. Boston describes the Attributes of Christ in several of these sermons. The objective is that by knowing more about Christ we will grow closer to him. We really get to see what a blessing Boston is to us in these volumes; he truly is a gifted writer. His wisdom and knowledge are made apparent through his various subjects. Volume 11 - Retail $45 , 539 pages Volume eleven has discourses on prayer—a topic we can always learn more about. Prayer is something Christians become accustomed to. Prayer easily just becomes habit; we can forget at times the blessing and importance of it. This volume also has treatises on the Covenant of Works. This volume contains sermons on Fasting (another important and too often forgotten exercise), and Humiliation in One's Life (dying to ourselves to live for Christ). Volume 12 - Retail $45 , 574 pages The concluding volume twelve is arguably the most powerful. It recounts Thomas Boston's many memoirs. His testimony really is a great and convicting one. Thomas Boston lived his life for the Glory of God; this is proved and strongly apparent in these memoirs. He used the knowledge, wisdom, and strength he was gifted with to further God's kingdom. His life was, is, and will continue to be an excellent example for us all. |
