There should be no doubt in the minds of those familiar with the recent history of Christian publishing that the Banner of Truth publishing house has played a major role in the resurgence and revival of Puritan literature over the last half century or so.

We are also certain that Banner of Truth's publications have played an important role in the development of a much larger network of Reformation and Puritan publishers focusing on the reprinting of classic Reformed and Puritan books. We know for certain that this is the case with us (Still Waters Revival Books), as Banner of Truth books helped shape our worldview, as well as the way we look at and understand Scripture.

This was especially true when, as younger Christians, leaders at SWRB encountered soul stirring Banner of Truth books like A.W. Pink's The Sovereignty of God and Iain Murray's timeless classic, The Puritan Hope: Revival and the Interpretation of Prophecy. Banner of Truth commentaries (in the Geneva series) also had a very positive impact on our theology and the way we understand the Bible.

Furthermore, we will never forget reading some of the amazing books in the Banner of Truth's splendid Puritan Paperback series - as they were spiritual landmarks, used by the Lord, for the  sanctification of our minds, bodies and souls.

In fact, we believe every Christian would benefit greatly from reading all the books in the Banner of Truth's Puritan Paperback series, but especially such titles as The Mystery of Providence by John Flavel, The Doctrine of Repentance by Thomas Watson, The Mortification of Sin by John Owen, Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices by Thomas Brooks, The True Bounds of Christian Freedom by Samuel Bolton, The Christian's Great Interest by William Guthrie, Spiritual-Mindedness by John Owen and The (Westminster - ed.) Shorter Catechism Explained by Thomas Vincent.

We, at SWRB, have come to love these Puritan books so much (because they draw us closer to the Lord Jesus Christ) that we have tried to make them even more readily accessible by publishing them as inexpensive digital (PDF) downloads - many for just 99 cents each (most of which we have made searchable and also added embedded and appended indices to further enhance your biblical studies)!

After this short introduction to the work of the Banner of Truth Trust, we have listed a few samples (below) of these classic Puritan books so that you may easily find the low-priced digital downloads here at Still Waters Revival Books or you may click through to the printed books on Banner of Truth's Web site (to purchase the printed editions directly from Banner of Truth).

We've linked directly to the printed books on the Banner of Truth Web site with the hope of further promoting their important ministry (as we make nothing from the book sales which take place on Banner of Truth's Web site) and as a way of saying thank you to Banner of Truth for all the great Puritan literature they have published over the years - literature which has impacted our lives for so much good, by teaching us how to better love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

Moreover, if you already know the great power for godliness found in Puritan literature, and the way God graciously uses Puritan books, you may also want to consider obtaining the Puritan Hard Drive we have published - as it is the perfect study tool for those who love the writings of our Puritan forefathers. Additionally, if you buy a Puritan Hard Drive for yourself, you can also use our PURITAN HARD DRIVE MINISTRY AND DONATION OFFERS link to obtain a free Puritan Hard Drive (donated by Still Waters Revival Books) for your Pastor or one of your Elders, a missionary, or other Christian worker (see the full details at PURITAN HARD DRIVE MINISTRY AND DONATION OFFERS).

Iain H. Murray, in The Story of The Banner of Truth, gives us a little more background on the work of Banner of Truth when he writes,

The Banner of Truth Trust originated in 1957 in London. The founders believed that much of the best literature of historic Christianity had been allowed to fall into oblivion and that its recovery under God could well lead not only to a strengthening of the Church today but to true revival. The origins of the work were closely connected with the prayer that God would be pleased to visit the land again in true awakening.

It was believed that former literature - particularly of the Reformation and Puritan eras - had become buried for two reasons. Firstly that the emphasis of that literature was not congenial to much that passed for biblical Christianity in the present century. Secondly that religious publishing had become far too market oriented, that is to say, a primary question with publishers was that a title was saleable and to what degree it could be expected to be popular.

The Banner of Truth Trust by its very name, Trust, was organised so that, it was hoped, financial considerations would not determine the publications programme. It was aimed to publish what we believed honoured God and what people needed rather than what they might initially want...

The Banner of Truth Trust is a non profit-making organisation, that is to say that all profits go back into the organisation itself.

Our goals at SWRB align perfectly, at many points, with those of the Banner of Truth Trust, and we hope that this introduction to their ministry will help introduce many of our brothers and sisters in Christ (and even unbelievers) to Banner of Truth - and, in the classic Puritan books which Banner of Truth publishes, to what many consider the greatest Christian writings since the days of the Apostles!

May our Lord bless you as you seek Him and His truth above all else.

- Dr. Reg Barrow (President, Still Water Revival Books)
