Endorsements
“When I wonder about, or want to explore “The Puritans,” what would really help me would be a book of around 160 pages, written by one or two skilled and popular Christian communicators who were also scholars well-versed in Puritan history, theology, biography, pastoral ministry, and contemporary applicability. If only such a book existed! Now it does. It is called Following God Fully—simultaneously a splendid introduction, a refresher course, and a great read. Three cheers for this gift from the dynamic duo of Joel Beeke and Mike Reeves!” — Sinclair B. Ferguson, a Ligonier Ministries teaching fellow and Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary
“Anytime Joel Beeke and Michael Reeves collaborate to write about the Puritans, it immediately becomes a must-read for all. These two prominent scholars combine their strengths to write in their field of expertise about our forefathers of the faith. You will find this book easily accessible to those new to the Puritans yet extremely insightful for those well studied in these spiritual stalwarts. Be prepared to be greatly edified and encouraged by this brilliant book.” — Steven J. Lawson, president, OnePassion Ministries
