Influences of the Life of Grace, Or, A Practical Treatise Concerning the Way, Manner, and Means of Having and Improving of Spiritual Disposition, and Quickening Influences from Christ the Resurrection and the Life (1658), by Samuel Rutherford

This work is available on the Puritan Hard Drive.

Resource Description: "Samuel Rutherford, so much on high that you wonder how he had patience to amass such learning, and write so many books -- perhaps the completest instance of absorbing affection for the person of a living Saviour, the liveliest example of a life hid with Christ in God, which these latter ages have produced" (Dr. J. Hamilton as cited in Johnston, Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, p. 304). This is the first time (to our knowledge) that this Rutherford classic has been reprinted since it first appeared almost three-and-a-half centuries ago -- and it is long overdue, as it contains many amazing insights into conversion, the depths of sanctification, and communion with Christ that you are unlikely to find in many (any?) books on this topic that have been written since. 466 pages

"If Cant was the apostle of the Covenant, and Warriston its pen, and Peden its prophet, Rutherford was something more than its bard, a sensitive reed shaken with the wind of a stormful age, and giving out soft music that touched the soul to tears. He was the strong brain, the dura medulla, the intellectual fibre of the Covenant... He was an out and out Covenanter, a protester of Protesters (also called Cameronians or Steelites - ed.), ready by pen or tongue to defend the blue banner even unto death." - Blair as cited in Johnston, The Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, p. 304.
