I’m new in reading the Puritans and I’m reading it through for the first time (the unabridged, Banner of Truth, version). I usually read one or two sections or, “branches,” at a time. I was reading on my recliner but I need to read this book on my knees. I’m 36 years old. I really wish I had access to the puritans when I was a teenager. I grew up in a very rural area with not a lot of access to other lines of thinking but I praise The LORD that I was able to purchase some Complete Banner of Truth sets (Matthew Henry, John Bunyan, Jonathan Edwards, Wilhelmus A’Brakel, and Thomas Watson). I have hit a gold mine! What a treasure! I “accidentally,” discovered the four white volumes of Brakel at a Christian book store at the Joel Osteen section (of all places). They were placed on the bottom shelf. I knocked a book over and as I picked it up, I came across them. Thank you for these videos. Keep them coming.
I was in Lavenham church last week, where Gurnall preached and wrote this wonderful work. Sadly, there was nothing to be seen in that church of William Gurnall - only his name on the board with a list of all the vicars/ministers who served in that church. He wasn’t celebrated or even remembered. I just stood there and savoured the atmosphere where Gurnall’s voice once echoed from the rafters. How blessed the congregation was to have such a preacher in their midst. I have read this book since my conversion in 1973. Every Christian NEEDS to read it. Pure gold. Spiritual meat.
I started reading Christian in Complete Armour after watching this video. I have the Banner of Truth unabridged copy and the three volume abridged version. All I can say is, thank you brother! I’ve had this on my bookcase for almost 10 years I tried reading it but never got very far but now it’s hitting me hard. Yesterday at church I picked up a copy of Christian in Complete Armour at our free book table printed in 1837. Thanks again
Thanks enjoyed that…. I’m English from Norfolk Gurnalls home county, in fact I live in Great Yarmouth and just outside my apartment there is a plaque that says that on this spot William Bridge and other puritan preachers preached here.. By the way we pronounce Lavenham as lavanum. God bless
Excellent teaching on William Gurnall, convicting, edifying model of a goodly shepherd of the flock in a very delicate period of history, a religious civil war. The three volumes were a constant companion to me in spiritual battle within and without being waged on the pilgrim road through this dark and wearisome road.
His book is the most underrated book ever..i think Satan had tricked or convinced many not to appreciate the wisdom in it..he is my favorite puritan too and his book "the christian in complete armor "is a must for spiritual growth.
GOD AND HIS PROVIDENCE SHOWED ME THIS ABOUT 2 years after I was saved ..I HAVE THE NEW VERSION RIGHT IN FRINT OF ME FOR IT IS THE NEXT BEST THING BESIDES THE BIBLE FOR DECIPLES OF CHRIST..

Thank you! I enjoy your preaching! You may not hear from others, but people do enjoy your preaching. Keep it up!
Thanks brother! Praise God. Im glad it was of some help to you.
Amen, good stuff! Next time could you all keep the Q and A?
The elders turn off the stream before our q and a's, just to protect the innocent ;)
