About the Author
Cambridge-trained pastor John Cotton fled persecution in England and became one of the most influential voices in early New England. In Boston, he preached Christ with conviction and crafted a vision for church life grounded in Scripture and covenant grace.
He believed the church should be ruled by Christ, not custom, and wrote with clarity on worship, leadership, and the spiritual care of God’s people. From children’s catechisms to church guidance, Cotton’s ministry flowed from a heart that trusted God's Word and longed to see His people flourish.

Quote from the book
You would scarcely think a child were living if it did not cry as soon as it is born; if still-born you take it for dead-born. If you are a still-born Christian, you are dead born; if you have no wants to tell God of, if yet unlikely to pray and would be glad of any occasion to shut out prayer, do not be deceived; where there wants prayer, there wants grace; no prayer, no grace; little prayer, little grace; frequency of prayer argues power of grace. (p. 8)
