Excellent book with the sermons from the 2023 Puritan Conference. Commenting on the author that Brian Cosby found helpful. On John Flavel, the intended effect of flavels words of consolation is to bring the afflicted believer a heavenly vision and strength to endure the sufferings of this present world. No matter how dark and heavy earthly anxieties may seem, they are light compared to the eternal weight of glory and joy in the world to come.
