Description

He was a best-selling author, evangelist and statesman, yet he considered the pastoral ministry the highest calling anyone could aspire to. When George Whitfield, the 18th century Methodist evangelist, passed through Baxter's rural parish a century after his death, he noted the lingering "sweet savour of good Mr. Baxter's doctrine, works and discipline." What transformed this country pastor with little formal education or training into one of the most effective and fruitful Christian leaders of all time? Good Mr. Baxter offers examples, insights and wisdom from the life and death of Richard Baxter to spur modern church leaders to energetic, passionate, practical ministry in the Church.

"Baxter was the most outstanding pastor, evangelist and writer on practical and devotional themes that Puritanism produced." -- J.I. Packer, Professor at Regents College and author of Knowing God and numerous other books, including many on the Puritans.
