In A Lifting Up for the Downcast, Puritan preacher William Bridge offers a profound exploration of spiritual depression through thirteen powerful sermons on Psalm 42:11, originally delivered in Stepney, London, in 1648. As a true physician of souls, Bridge skillfully diagnoses the heart's deepest afflictions, addressing the struggles that believers face, including great sins, weak grace, failure in duties, lack of assurance, temptation, desertion, and affliction.

A Sure Guide to Heaven is a profound and engaging exploration of the necessity of true conversion, penned by Puritan writer, Joseph Alleine. In this timeless classic, originally published in 1671, Alleine helps readers to discern the nature of genuine conversion while addressing common misconceptions that can lead to spiritual deception. Drawing from biblical wisdom, particularly Matthew 7: 13–14, he ensures that readers are not misled into believing they are converted when they may not be.

The third of Martin Luther’s 1520 treatises, also referred to as A Treatise on Christian Liberty, this work focuses on the topics of justification and total salvation. Boldly, unmistakably, and directly contrasting the teachings of the church, Luther argued for the truth he found in studying the Bible on his own. Introducing, for the first time to many people, the argument for justification through faith alone, he knocked down the idea of being dependent on additional sacraments, penances, and works for salvation.

Martin Luther, full of compassion, grief, disappointment, and frustration, turns away from his entreaties to and debates with church leaders and writes instead to the German political leaders. With extreme clarity, Luther explains in this letter the unbalanced nature and habits of the religious institution - certain at this point that the German people could only be set free from this continual and escalating religious destruction through the intervention of their government.
