Francis Rous (1579–1659) was a fiery preacher of the Gospel of Christ, and a member of the Westminster Assembly as a lay assessor. He was a sound Puritan divine, and was highly recognized for his “Art of Happiness,” and his writings against Arminianism.
“Puritan Meditations” by Francis Rous offers a weighty collection of 96 carefully crafted spiritual reflections aimed at deepening the believer’s relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Rous, a respected Puritan theologian and Westminster Divine, gathers “diverse sparks of holy fire” to inspire readers to engage in the sacred practice of biblical meditation, thought by thought. These 96 meditations focus on filling the mind and heart with the truths of Scripture, leading to spiritual growth and sanctification on a variety of biblical topics.
Within this book, Rous explores the transformative power of God’s Word, guiding believers through times of spiritual coldness and encouraging them to reignite their zeal. Drawing from the rich Puritan tradition, “Puritan Meditations” offers insights into everything from the work of the Savior, to the action of holiness in the Christian walk. He reflects on God’s works, promises, and character leading to holiness and joy in the Christian walk.
With each meditation, Rous invites readers into a shared journey of faith, urging them to press onward toward their eternal inheritance. These 96 reflections are not only a means of personal growth but a call to collective encouragement, unity, and strength in the body of Christ.
Whether you are seeking deeper communion with God or spiritual nourishment for life’s challenges, “Puritan Meditations” provides a timeless roadmap toward the joy and peace found only in God’s word and in Jesus Christ.
