There is no higher privilege than to be a child of God and to know it, for assurance brings joy to worship and prayer, and provides strength and boldness to our witness. Correspondingly, failure and weakness in all these areas can often be traced back to a lack of assurance, or even false assurance. This work of Thomas Brooks, first published in 1654, deals with all of these aspects of assurance in a biblical and pastoral way. Brooks 'scatters stars with both his hands' wrote C.H. Spurgeon. His teaching is clear, thorough, and greatly needed in the present spiritual climate. Brooks both explains what true assurance is and guides the reader in how it may be fully experienced.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Thomas Brooks</note> <subject> <topic>Assurance (Theology)</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">234</classification> <classification authority="ddc">T454-B87</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0851513565 9780851513560</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/4/29/z3377076329071_af6a2eff33f75fd4db71c3f902f626c0.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/4/29/z3377076329071_af6a2eff33f75fd4db71c3f902f626c0.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070628.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
