Puritan Treasures for Today - Turn and Live

Book Description

Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
— Ezekiel 33:11

God's call to the sinner to turn and live is serious and demands a response. In a clear, compelling, and passionate way, Nathaniel Vincent explains the foolishness of continuing in the pathway of evil, the stubborn disposition of natural man to continue in this way, the gracious and repeated call of God to turn, and the wonderful remedy found in Christ. In typical Puritan fashion, Vincent also draws out the several applications, or uses, of this doctrine.
