Endorsement

“Many years ago I came across this wonderful work, written to comfort a believer struggling with assurance. Its simple, conversational style makes it warmly pastoral and accessible. Dathenus, a major shaper of early Reformed theology and liturgy, applies the distinction between the law and the gospel with beauty and grace. It’s amazing how much gospel comfort is packed into such a little book.” — Michael S. Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster Seminary California; and founder and editor-in-chief of White Horse Inc.
