Puritan Paperbacks - Gospel Life
Book Description
There are some questions common to all seekers after Christ. How can I know I truly have faith? What does it look like to be conformed to Jesus? How does God see me?
In Gospel Life, a posthumous compilation of thirteen sermons from the zenith of his preaching career, John Owen answers these questions with great compassion for the Christian who longs for growth and assurance. He draws on a wide range of Scripture to display the character of the Savior, the acceptance of the Father, and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. Finally, Owen addresses the death and eternal hope of the believer, offering encouragement to all who love Christ.
A companion volume, Gospel Ministry, expounds the calling of Christian ministers, and exhorts congregations to loving and prayerful church life.
The sermons in this volume have been selected from The Works of John Owen, Volume 9, and modernized for today’s reader.

Author
John Owen (1616-1683) was probably the greatest systematic theologian of the British Puritans, yet such was his depth of Christian wisdom and discernment that he also excelled in pastoral and spiritual theology - in a balanced way, he addresses both mind and heart. Owen lived in a time of suffering, of terrible political divisions, of war and of plague that cost many lives and a time of church schism. Through all this he remained a respected figure, even though he was on the side of non-conformity against the established church.
