There is a magnificent union of sound doctrine, heart-searching experience, and practical wisdom in all of Watson's writings! —Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) Pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London and known as the prince of preachers.
“A Divine Cordial” is an excellent manual—perhaps the best ever written—on how to use the various means of grace and how to live the Christian life with passion for the glory of God. Based on Matthew 11:12, Watson describes how the Christian should seize the kingdom of heaven with holy violence through the reading and exposition of Scripture, prayer, meditation, self-examination, conversation, and the keeping of the Lord's Day. He explains how the believer must fight against himself, against Satan, and against the world, and refutes objections and impediments to offering such violence. Two additional sermons were included as appendices to the book: “The Blessedness of Drawing Near to God” and “How to Get the Most Spiritual Profit from the Scriptures.” This book helped lead Colonel James Gardiner (1688-1745) and many others to conversion. It is an excellent book to give to those who want to start reading the Puritans. Watson's deep spirituality, precise style, and beauty of expression make him one of the most admirable, quotable, and devotional of all the Puritans. —Joel Beeke President and Professor of Systematic Theology and Homiletics at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Pastor of Heritage Netherlands Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Many today believe that the Christian life is quite easy to direct and to live. But the Puritans saw it as a war, as a struggle, as "holy violence"—to use their terms. The apostle Paul spoke of beating his own body into submission (cf. 1 Cor. 9:27). And this holy violence must be brought not only against oneself, but also against Satan, the world, and also heaven. And in this confrontation, we must use the weapons that God has given us: the reading of the Word, the exposition of the Word, prayer, meditation, self-examination, and the due observance of the Lord's Day. Let Thomas Watson be your guide through the minefield that lies between us and heaven. —Don Kistler Has a Doctorate in Ministry and Master of Divinity from Azusa Pacific University in Southern California, Ordained Pastor, Founder of The Northampton Press and Soli Deo Gloria Publications, and Editor of around 150 books.
