The Godly Man's Picture (Puritan Paperbacks)

By Thomas Watson

Thomas Watson is one of the most famous Puritan preachers in history, and his writings during the 17th century are still read across the world today. He was a prodigious writer whose works include All Things for Good (originally published as A Divine Cordial), The Ten Commandments, and more. The Godly Man's Picture is Watson's exposition on Puritan theology, and his description of what it takes for someone to be "godly" enough to go to Heaven. He wrote that the purpose of the work was "that all into whose hands this book may providentially come, may be so enamoured with piety as to embrace it heartily."

Should be on every Christian man's bookshelf

This little book is an absolute treasure and should be read by every Christian.

The Whole Picture

For those of us striving to lead a Godly life, we are always looking for vivid examples of how to live and think. Thomas Watson paints the perfect picture of the Godly man, and puts it in a rather readable and condenced format, being very organized in his lay-out. The style of the book is closely related to the Westminster Confession. The picture that is painted in this book is so clear and backed so strongly by Scripure...

No Fluff Here!

Thomas Watson exemplifies the nature of Puritan writing. This book is very practical, and is not emotive in it's theology. If you want to apply the Scriptures in a practical manner, this book is the ticket. If you're looking for "Evangelical fluff," go to your local Christian bookstore.

Puritan devotion to Christ at it's best.

Puritan writers are known for thier marvellous logic and their thorough commitment to Jesus Christ. Thomas Watson has these qualities in common with those who were his contemporaries, however he injects into this book many poetical, descriptive and even romantic images that cause the deep truths he is presenting to rush home vividly to the mind and heart. Watson deals with many practical matters of Christianity and his...
