Christian's Great Interest (Puritan Paperbacks)

Wm Guthrie is one of my favorite Reformation authors because of this little book. I gave it to 2 others also. He asks and answers questions most believers don't ask out loud. He uses solid biblical teachings and with complete enlightenment as a Scottish reformer. Every pastor should study this book because members of his congregation have these questions nagging at their conscience but won't ask them.I enjoyed reading it. The old Scottish terms do not take away from the messages. And at the back are some marvelous short passages from his sermons, that are worth the price of the book. Guthrie was an exceptional pastor!

The problem with this book isn't that it's written in an older style of writing. I can read other Puritans just fine. There were people who lived during his time who wrote very clearly, and they're still easy and clear to read today. Reading Guthrie is like reading a legal document. His writing is mentally herky-jerky. He doesn't have a smooth flow of thought.There are a few points where he writes clearly, and those parts are very good.

Read it (almost completely twice in a row). First time through was very good, the next time through very good. Once one can get beyond some of the old English you'll be well on your way to see how Guthrie attempts to leave no stone unturned that might entire the readers inquiry.

Christian's Great Interest by William Guthrie, is a bit hard to read. It's readable but written in how the early Puritans spoke. But the content is awesome! It's Biblically based, solely on the Word of God. I am enjoying reading and learning!

I am a big fan of puritan literature. This is a good book.

Must read

Difficult reading, old style language usage.

Hard to understand because it is written in the old English.
