Originally published in English in 1676, this book is a personal letter written by Henry Sougal to his close friend, explaining the Christian life, or as he himself puts it, the nature and excellence of the Christian religion. Deeply doctrinal and devotional, this book brilliantly explains the beauty of God's work in a sinner's life to lead them to become a true child of God. If you want to know what the Christian life is like and should be, this book explains it all.
