Following God Fully: An Introduction to the Puritans

We want discipleship without sacrifice. The Puritans knew following Christ could cost them their lives. While we skim, scroll, and rush, they meditated, prayed, and examined their hearts. In persecution, defeat, and disaster, they clung to Christ. The Puritans were united in this: they strove to follow God fully. Despite their shortcomings, they were people of faith, and that set them apart in their day and in ours. Open these pages and let their example inspire you to follow God as they did. Fully.

This book is a clear, accessible introduction to the Puritans and their vision of the Christian life. It explores who they were, what they believed, and how they lived, moving from doctrine to daily practice. At its heart is a compelling picture of Christianity that is deeply biblical, intensely Christ-centered, and applied to every area of life.

Rather than presenting theology as abstract ideas, the book shows how the Puritans understood faith as something to be experienced, lived, and worked out in the heart, the home, the church, and the world. It introduces key figures, explains core doctrines like regeneration and sanctification, and offers practical guidance on prayer, family life, work, and suffering.

The result is a vision of wholehearted devotion to God that is both demanding and deeply attractive, calling readers to a richer, fuller Christian life.
