Letters of Samuel Rutherford

. . . Samuel Rutherford did his best work while suffering imprisonment for the Gospel . . . From this, 'the most remarkable series of devotional letters that the literature of the Reformed churches can show,' the great leaders in the Church as well as the humblest Christians have drawn strength.  It is said of Robert Murray M'Cheyne that 'the Letters of Samuel Rutherford were often in his hand.'  [W]hile to C. H. Spurgeon they were 'the nearest thing to inspiration which can be found in all the writings of mere men.'  This abridged edition contains sixty-nine of these letters.
