A Guide to the Puritans by Robert P. Martin

Here is a beautiful resource. It’s strikes me as both one of a kind and all you would need of its kind. The Puritans are quite a resource, but I’m in that number of those who wouldn’t know exactly where to turn to tap it. Now I have it!

The first two sections make up the bulk of the book. The first, topical index, shows what workers those Puritans were. I can hardly find a subject they didn’t cover (except some unneeded modern junk). This is a treasure trove. The second, the Scripture index, opens up the Puritans for sermon prep as well.

The ten other shorter sections are simply fun. They are for when your interest grows and you want to get to know the Puritans.

I can’t imagine the amount of labor Mr. Martin put into this resource, but we are all richer for. Tracking down just one thing that would only take a few seconds to find in this book that would have taken you hours shows you just what a treat we have here. We need this one. And then for icing on the cake, we have it in this beautiful hardback edition.

received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
