Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices
Thomas Brooks
If readers of Puritan literature were set the task of listing thirty of
the 'mightiest' among Puritan preachers, the name Thomas Brooks would
certainly appear among them, though few would be inclined to include him
among 'the first three'. His name and his works are sufficiently
esteemed to secure for him an enduring place in the hearts of
knowledgeable Christians, and some few might even award him a topmost
niche among the choicest spirits of the seventeenth century.

'The strange opposition that I met with
from Satan, in the study of the following discourse, hat put an edge upon my
spirit, knowing that Satan strives mightily to keep these things from seeing the
light that tend eminently to shake and break his kingdom of darkness, and to
lift up the kingdom and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the souls and lives
of the children of men...'
This is one of the seven reasons for writing his book which the author, Thomas
Brooks, gives in his preface. Among the publishers' reasons for this
reprint is the fact, noted by George Smeaton, that the best Christian authors of
former times treated the seductive influence and terrible power of Satan in a
way 'greatly more full and suggestive than in the literature of the present
day'. William Grimshaw, in the eighteenth century, was not the first nor
the last to learn this lesson from Brooks' Precious Remedies, and our
modern age greatly needs the message which is thrust back into prominence in
these pages. |
