The Wells of Salvation Opened

by William Spurstowe

What has God given us in His “precious promises?” Puritan William Spurstowe reveals how these promises are all we need for “life and godliness.” In twenty-one chapters, you will learn how to find power in God’s certain Word for your daily life. Spurstowe answers common questions, • How can I know I’m saved? • What do promises of earthly blessings mean for me today? • How do I find comfort when life is hard? Follow Spurstowe as he faithfully reminds us of the promises given to them in Christ and the gospel. “William Spurstowe is finally getting some of the recognition that his writings deserve. A pious Presbyterian willing to suffer for his convictions, Spurstowe exhibits in these pages a pleasing sense of humor mixed with a biblical and practical piety. The subject is treated with utmost seriousness, the author with a touch of self-deprecation. Graced with an informative introduction, this carefully edited reprint will bless Christians who wish to better understand the greatness, preciousness, usefulness, and Spirit-worked effects of God’s promises to believers.” ―Chad Van Dixhoorn, is professor of church history and director of the Craig Center for the Study of the Westminster Standards at Westminster Theological Seminary.

[Josiah Lutz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a brilliant and beautifully written book on the excellencies and proper uses of God’s great and precious promises. This book has convicted, taught, and encouraged me to draw deeply from the wells of salvation, which never run dry. Spurstowe’s heart bleeds through the text, and he includes applications and timeless analogies which help the subject matter stick. Finally, Randall Pederson did a great job of editing this work and including very helpful footnotes. Definitely a worthwhile read!

Beautifully written. Refreshing and encouraging. Some repetition, but we’ll worth rehearsing an abundance of God’s promises that all find their Yes and Amen in Christ.

"And so to honor the Wells of salvation should Christians make known the great things that God hath done for them, and leave in every place where they come some testimony of their thankfulness, and God's goodness." (p. 180)

[Keller (Author Charles Hack) Hackbusch · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good, but not as devotionally sweet as other Puritan works.
