    A Discourse Concerning Conscience: A Heaven or Hell Upon Earth by Nathanael Vincent

    Edited by Dr. Don Kistler
    Hardcover • 280 pages • Smyth sewn • Acid-free paper

    What is conscience—and why does it matter? In this rare Puritan work, Nathanael Vincent explores the conscience as one of the most powerful forces in the Christian life. Through fourteen rich sermons, he shows how conscience, when rightly informed, becomes a heaven on earth—and how, when neglected or defiled, it becomes a source of spiritual torment.

    He guides readers toward cultivating a good conscience and offers encouragement to those struggling with guilt, sorrow, or spiritual confusion. Faithfully reprinted and bound to last, this edition is made to bless readers for years to come.

    About the Author

    Nathanael Vincent was a bold and gifted Puritan preacher whose ministry endured imprisonment, persecution, and political turmoil. Educated at Oxford and ordained at just twenty-one, Vincent quickly became known for his sharp intellect, lively preaching, and passionate defense of biblical truth. After losing his position in 1662 for refusing state-imposed church practices, Vincent preached in London despite threats and arrests. Even in confinement, he wrote and published books that strengthened the church and still remain strikingly relevant for believers today.

    Quote from the book

    Image
    It is best of all that worm of conscience should be felt presently while it is possible to destroy this worm. Let it bite now that it may die, and by degrees give over biting at all. Let it feed upon and eat away corruption that itself also may at length be consumed; for it is sad to cherish this worm against hereafter, for then the worm will never die and the fire will never be quenched. (p. 19)
