It is one thing to know about God's majesty, and another thing to behold its beauty; it is one thing to know that sin is the greatest evil, and another thing to feel its horror; it is one thing to know the excellency of God's love, and another thing to taste its sweetness.

In The Heart Taken Up: 90 Days with the Puritans, Stephen Yuille challenges us to consider the difference between intellectual and experiential knowledge. Using anecdotes, illustrations, Scripture, and the writings of the Puritans, he encourages Christians to consider the glory of God, the severity of sin, the beauty of Christ, the mystery of providence, and the certainty of glory each day.

As you meditate on these five lively truths, your love will be kindled, your faith strengthened, your joy increased, and your hope renewed so that you may be filled with the fullness of God (Eph. 3:19).

“The Puritans have left an indelible mark on my life, shaping my thoughts about God and deepening my affections toward Him. This collection of devotions, drawn from the rich well of Puritan piety, is a help in itself. It is made even richer because Stephen Yuille is one of the best guides I know to help us drink as deeply as we should.”

“In these short devotional readings, we’re given a delectable tasting menu of Puritan sweetnesses, stirring us not merely to know the truth in our minds but to long for a greater feast with the One whom we love. Even the busiest of us has time to sit with Stephen Yuille at this Puritan table and delight in each five-star course.”

“The doctrinal richness and warmth of pastoral application of the Puritans shines brightly in Stephen Yuille’s The Heart Taken Up. This ninety-day devotional masterfully guides the reader beyond mere intellectual knowledge to a true, experiential communion with God by focusing on the central themes of the Christian life. It is spiritually nourishing, theologically sound, and an ideal resource for daily devotion. I highly commend it.”

I gladly and heartily recommend this outstanding resource!”

“The Puritans had the pastoral and literary skills to write in ways that blended both heart and head, spirit and truth, piety and theology. Based on Puritan writings, this book by Stephen Yuille shows that he can do the same.”

“I can’t think of a better way to spend the morning than with comrades in the faith on whose shoulders we stand, and I can’t think of a better guide than Stephen Yuille to introduce us to the Christ-saturated wisdom of the Puritans. If you want to be wise, then walk ninety days in the company of Yuille and the Puritans (Proverbs 13:20).”
