Editorial Reviews

"There are some books whose vision is so deep and clear that truth rings from the page like the toll of a large bell, perfectly obvious, but rare and precious. They unfold the heart of man and God with such forceful illumination that the truth is not just shown to my mind but created in my heart... so it went as I grazed in the green pasture of this remarkable book."

John Piper ~ Founder of Desiring God Ministries

"... the book does draw attention to an aspect of Christian experience to which 20th century believers don't perhaps give much emphasis. The pace of modern life doesn't encourage quiet contemplation..."

Howard Stone

"I never knew what true religion was till God sent me this excellent treatise."

(18th Century Evangelist)

"I never knew what true religion was till God sent me this excellent treatise."

George Whitefield

Henry Scougal's exposition of ‘true religion' (his phrase, echoed by Whitefield, meaning genuine Christianity) was from one standpoint the seed out of which the English side of the revival first sprouted; for the book was favourite reading in Oxford's Holy Club, where the Wesleys and Whitefield first came together.
