Communion with God

"Owen offers not quick relief, but long-term, deep growth in grace that can make strong, healthy trees from fragile saplings." - John Piper."We cannot properly estimate the blessing of soaking our minds in the Bible-saturated thinking of the likes of John Owen. What he was able to see in the Bible and preserve for us in writing is simply magnificent." - John Piper.Communion with God, or in full, Communion with God: Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Each Person Distinctly, in Love, Grace, and Consolation; or, the Saints' Fellowship with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Unfolded is John Owen's finest devotional treatise. Owen, and the Puritans more generally, regarded communion with God as central to the Christian life.John Owen explicitly addressed this work to the "Christian reader," and so it is very accessible. Much of it is contained in his sermons to his congregation and to students at Oxford University. It is a profound biblical exposition rather than theology. In this scripture infused work, Owen carefully explicates the believer's individual communion with each of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and presents this as the basis of the Christian life.This edition is unabridged.John Owen (1616-1683) was an English Puritan, theologian, and minister. He was Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, vice-chancellor of Oxford University, and chaplain and friend to Oliver Cromwell. He is remembered as a prolific writer, a theologian's theologian, and the author of several beloved devotional works, particularly Communion with God.
