The best book on the assurance of salvation from modern authors. Clear and biblical. The books deals with false conversations, so false converts could have a negative reaction to the book. But it is so needed. You should want to know if you are truly saved or not, so that you can enter the narrow gate (if you have not done that yet) and walk the narrow way that leads to our true Home....more

Thomas Watson never writAs soon as I started this one I asked myself: why did I wait so long to start another puritan book? They are sooo refreshing. Thomas Watson never writes a filler-sentence. His every sentence has a meaning. The book is full of quotes to underline and remember.
