The Sound Believer

A searching examination of evangelical conversion — the Spirit's work in bringing sinners from destruction to salvation. Shepard traces the soul's journey through conviction, compunction, humiliation, and faith, then unfolds the blessings that follow: justification, reconciliation, adoption, sanctification, and glorification. Grounded in Hosea 13:9, the treatise exposes self-destruction as the root of human ruin while proclaiming Christ as the sole remedy. A classic of Puritan pastoral theology, prized for its penetrating spiritual insight.
