{"product_id":"instructions-about-heartwork","title":"Instructions about Heartwork","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1681, this little-known treatise by Puritan pastor Richard Alleine is an extensive exposition of Proverbs 4:23: “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” The author instructs readers in the proper way to keep their hearts, stressing what is to be done on God’s part and on the believer’s part. In the processes, he details the well-kept heart as one that is mercifully recovered from its lost state, carefully governed in godliness, and eagerly guarded against the world, the flesh, and the devil. The goal throughout is that believers may grow in exercising grace and embracing full assurance of salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“This was the last work of this blessed author, and I wish the improvement of the scope of it may be the first and last work of every reader. His works have done good to many, and very few men have so many heart epistles of commendation…. A clear and practical understanding of the way of grace, the way of temptation, and the way of duty regarding the heart will steer us right through all the difficulties and dangers we shall meet with on this side of glory. That this book may be blessed to this end is the hearty desire of a willing servant of Christ and Christians.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—Samuel Annesley (ca. 1620–1696), a prominent Puritan and nonconformist pastor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the Reader\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Every Man Is Appointed to Be His Own Keeper\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: There Are Two Paths\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: The Great Care of Every Man Is to Keep His Heart\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: The Great Concern of Every Sinner Is to Be Recovered Out of His Lost Soul\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: How We May Know If We Are Recovered or Not\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Why Should We Mourn over Lost Souls\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: What Sinners Must Do for Their Own Recovery\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: An Exhortation\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Some Questions Proposed\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: Keeping a Good Conscience\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: Keeping the Heart\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: Self-Conceit, Self-Will, and Self-Love\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: Sinful Self-Love\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: Divine Love versus Sinful Self-Love\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15: The Government of the Heart Stands in Five Things\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16: Ordering Our Love\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17: Ordering Our Desires\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18: Ordering Our Joys\u003cbr\u003eChapter 19: Ordering Our Fear\u003cbr\u003eChapter 20: Ordering Our Grief\u003cbr\u003eChapter 21: Ordering Our Anger\u003cbr\u003eChapter 22: The Final Points in Governing Our Hearts\u003cbr\u003eChapter 23: Guarding the Heart\u003cbr\u003eChapter 24: How to Guard the Heart\u003cbr\u003eChapter 25: A Loose and Listless Heart\u003cbr\u003eChapter 26: How Must the Heart Be Guarded\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soli Deo Gloria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53009675977015,"sku":"eoc1789811190995","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/8910\/4695\/files\/instructions-about-heartwork_1.jpg?v=1789811196","url":"https:\/\/effortlesschicclad.shop\/products\/instructions-about-heartwork","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
