Description:
True meditation is not emptying the mind, but filling it. And everyone meditates on something.
The Puritans viewed meditation as essential for spiritual growth and effectiveness in spiritual duties--a crucial link between hearing, believing, and living God's Word. Proper meditation cultivates discernment, deepens repentance, and fosters devotion.
Instructing us in occasional meditation and set meditation, this modernized version of Thomas Manton's work on a crucial spiritual discipline helps believers discover the transformative effect of biblical meditation on the mind and heart.
