Christian in Complete Armour – 4
August 13, 2007
From page 105, section 2…
Faith gives the soul a view of the great God. It teacheth the soul to set his almightiness against sins magnitude, and his infinitude against sins multitude; and so quencheth the temptation. The reason why the presumptuous sinner fears so little, and the despairing soul so much, is for want of knowing God as great. Therefore, to cure them both, the serious consideration of God under this notion is propounded.

Yes, this is one of my favorite books on spiritual warfare.
Another great book that comes from the same perspective, and quotes Gurnall, is “The Embattled Christian”…

The book is great, and much shorter than Gurnall’s book.
