Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) offers here his most detailed description of the signs of revival and takes a look at the evidence of true conversion. Joseph Alleine (1634-1668) was a burning light in the Puritan sky during his short life. He preached up to 14 sermons a week at the times when he was not in jail for preaching. He would preach! So they killed him by ill health from his jailing. Tens of thousands, yea more, have accredited this book with having opened their eyes to their unconverted state. Among these, perhaps even half of these, were church members sailing under Christ's colors. These fervent words have burned their way into the hearts of both the small and the great. George Whitefield told how it affected him. C. H. Spurgeon ''when brought under conviction'' turned to this book.
