Classic Christian work

Moses Choice

by Jeremiah Burroughs

A rich Puritan exposition of Hebrews 11:25–26, tracing Moses's faith-driven choice to suffer with God's people rather than enjoy Egypt's fleeting pleasures. Burroughs unfolds the afflicted condition of the saints, the superior worth of communion with God's people, the nature of reproach as Christ's reproach, and the glorious recompense of eternal reward. Spanning 58 chapters, it is a sustained call to count the cost of godliness and find it infinitely worthwhile.
