Reformation Heritage Books has it right. Many of their books are an in-depth study of Puritan literature, but this is not an end in itself. Other book titles indicate that their knowledge of the Puritans is applied and made practical. This is reflected in the Cultivating Biblical Godliness booklet series as well as their books. What is the good of having a knowledge of God and his Word if it isn’t shown in our lives? If we are to be useful servants of the Lord, who glorify Him in all we do, there must be a practical outworking of our theology. Knowledge alone puffs up; applied knowledge makes us more Christlike.
It is true that the bible is the only book we really need, but God in his grace has supplied these useful tools so that we can consider one aspect of our godliness at a time and improve on it. It’s not necessary to buy a book, but perhaps consider the titles below and use one or two of them for further study. Do your own bible study or have a group discussion to discover where you can apply scripture and increase in godliness. Stagnancy is not an option. Let’s keep on moving forward, growing in grace to the glory of God. Thank you, RHB, for providing such useful tools.
