Proverbs 4:23 enjoins us to "keep our heart, for out of it are the issues of life." We are to guard our heart as if it was a fortress under attack, for, indeed, it is. How diligently a man will guard his fortune and his home, which are of temporal value; but how carelessly do most men guard that which is of eternal value, their very soul!
In this work, orginally entitled A Saint Indeed, John Flavel looks at what it is to keep the heart, how the heart is to be kept, and why keeping the heart is the great business of every person.
Included are an introduction and study guide to maximize the impact of this classic work.
