Published in 1674, just two years after the passing of his beloved second wife, Flavel draws from the compassionate words of Luke 7:13: “And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, ‘Weep not.’” With a comforting blend of Scripture, practical counsel, and wise reflections shaped by his own journey through affliction, Flavel provides valuable insights into what it means to mourn as a Christian.
