Holy Helps for a Godly Life: Puritan Treasures for Today

by Richard Rogers, Jacob Murray (narrator), One Audiobooks (publisher)

The Christian life can be daunting, especially in a world hostile to the ways of God. But the good news is that the God who calls us to be holy has also appointed helpful means so that we can grow in godliness. In Holy Helps for a Godly Life, Richard Rogers shows what the means of godliness are, describes their nature, and explains how they should be used. God has promised to give grace to those who use these means in a right and reverent way, and those who use these means in faith will discover their value for themselves.

This was a wonderful listen. I had to take a break in the middle because I let my hoopla hold expire, but I think that was helpful for this read as there is so much wisdom to absorb from this book. I think this would be a beneficial read for me to revisit in the future. I say this on pretty much every review of this series, but I just love the puritan treasures for today collection. I am so glad I stumbled across this- if you also use hoopla with your library system, then I highly recommend looking into these!

I think Rogers had some very good thoughts, but it was all written with a strange overtone of fear or timidity which bothered me. I think Rogers accurately reflected what many Christian practices should look like, but he also seemed to unintentionally leave our sanctification entirely up to us. Which is a bit dangerous. All in all, I was disappointed.

This is a slightly modernized and short section from a much longer treatise by this Puritan. Helpful that he opens up with the importance of the outward and ordinary means of grace as holy helps or spiritual disciplines. I think he overstates his case in some of the later chapters.

Some chapters were good, some were long-winded yet shallow like a guest preacher's sermon.

Excellent!
