Richard Baxter

Richard Baxter (1615–1691) was an English Puritan pastor best known for his ministry in Kidderminster. He wrote more than a hundred books, including The Saints' Everlasting Rest, The Reformed Pastor, and A Christian Directory. He was ejected from the Church of England in 1662.

Start with The Reformed Pastor, his call to faithful ministry and still one of the most practical books a pastor can read.

Depression, Anxiety, and the Christian Life gathers his counsel for troubled believers, and When Christians Disagree tells the story of Baxter and John Owen. Browse more in Puritan Paperbacks and all Puritan books.
