Description: This book, considered a classic of Christian devotional literature, was written by young Scottish Puritan HENRY SCOUGAL (1650-1678), professor of divinity at Aberdeen University, in the form of a letter to a friend who has lost his faith. In clear, supportive, inspirational language, Scougal discusses: . religion and the natural divine life . how the Savior exemplifies divine love . the difficulties and duties of Christian life . and more. Seekers after spiritual succor continue to find soulful sustenance and encouragement in this work more than two centuries after it was first published.
