About this ebook
Rogers’ famed reply to the scoffer, ‘I serve a precise God’, gave the occasion for the puritans to be called ‘precisionists’. These two very experientially rich sermons on conversion lay the entrance to God’s kingdom sweetly low: to any that thirst for it. Rogers, with a discerning and soft hand, reproves worldly minded persons who do not desire the best things (even their own salvation), shows that the way to be saved is to thirst for it (for those that desire what God offers), and assures those that do thirst that God will surely make good his end of the deal. It is in thirsting that the Christian continues in this life to receive the best spiritual graces from God for everything that he or she needs.
About the author
Richard Rogers (1551-1618) was a partially conforming, English puritan. In his continual walking with God he was called "the Enoch of his age," by his esteemed puritan grandson, William Jenkyn. Rogers was a pious Cambridge scholar and early organizing Presbyterian; he wrote the first, exceedingly influential English puritan handbook on the spiritual and practical life devoted to God, entitled Seven Treatises.
Two of his sons became puritan ministers: Daniel and Ezekiel Rogers. Three more of his step-sons from his second wife also became puritan ministers: Samuel, John and Nathaniel. Rogers today is best known for his magnum opus, Commentary on the Book of Judges, which has been published in facsimile form by the Banner of Truth.
