The Poor Doubting Christian Drawn to Christ

A tender pastoral guide for believers struggling with spiritual doubt and lack of assurance. Hooker identifies the chief hindrances that keep anxious Christians from embracing Christ — from blind presumption to self-reliance to paralyzing despair — and shows how each barrier can be overcome. The treatise includes practical rules for using Scripture as evidence of salvation, counsel for answering Satan's accusations against the conscience, and means for obtaining a personal interest in God's promises. A classic of Puritan soul-care.
