The Great Gain of Godliness

De: Thomas Watson

Narrado por: Jim Denison

Thomas Watson was one of the most famous Puritan preachers in history, and his 17th-century writings are still read across the world today. A highly influential example of Puritan writing, The Great Gain of Godliness is Watson's study of Malachi 3:16-18.

British Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon bemoaned the fact that he couldn't find a copy of The Great Gain of Godliness. Spurgeon told his scholars, "This volume would be a great find if we could come at it, for Watson is one of the clearest and liveliest of Puritan authors." We no longer face Spurgeon's dilemma, and listeners can now experience this classic text in a way unimaginable to 17th-century scholars.

The wicked shall not prosper

Encouraging ! It was easy listening to the clear voice of the narrator, I'll hear this book again.

Very encouraging book with precious truths!

Very encouraging and wonderful book with precious truths from the Lord! I am so thankful to the Lord for His work through His children!

Title well describes the content

Blackstone speaker is pleasant to listen to. Recommend to Christ followers of all times, nations, and degrees of maturity.

Choice meat for men

This is perhaps one of the best books outside of the Holy Scriptures I have ever read.

Holiness is not an Option

The narrator was precise and articulate. The story is about being holy because He is holy. Excellent teaching. Got only 4 stars because I do not believe in limited atonement, which is not a thread throughout. Jesus blood atoned for all who will receive Him. One thing I did like is the concept of if one is not living holy, they are not a child of God, not easy believism. Not by works either, If you love Him, He keeps the commandments in your mortal body.

Outstanding

Challenge and encouragement in the faith.
It’s as if he were my own preacher preaching and teaching and expounding the Word of God. A keeper to return to and supplement studying in the Bible.

So good!

Obviously well written and also quite convicting.
I love everything written by Thomas Watson. Get it!

should be re-read every year

good stuff. I need to go back through and mark this up with his quotes.

Highly Recommend

This book explains the roll the fear of God plays in the Christian life. The book is clear and concise.

Thought provoking, Spirit-cultivating goodness

Was turned into Thomas Watson by men's pastor Steve Farrar whom has since gone to be with the Lord. There is richness in Watson's words... a depth to them that is not exercised in the thought life today by many Christians. This book was a good short work on living a godly life, something I always need sanctified reminders on. It was my first foray into Watson's work, I'll be listening to others. There were many quotable lines but the one I most remember, relating to fearing the Lord and letting that be a primary motivation for living a godly life was, "those who do not tear fear the Lord's justice are likely to feel it".
