The Rules of a Holy Life

Nicholas Byfield (1579–1622)was an extremely popular puritan who was widely respected as a theologian and preacher.



This is one of the most biblically sound works on Christian sanctification in print. If any man is going to gain profit by something, as Byfield says, then he is going to gain profit by holy living.



He covers such topics as preparations to a godly life, general rules in the manner of doing all good duties, rules that concern the preservation of our love to God, and how we should carry ourselves in God’s house. He deals with rules that order us in hearing the word, of baptism, of the Lord’s Supper, of prayer, of reading the Scriptures, of singing psalms, of fasting, of keeping the Sabbath, and much more.



This is an astoundingly helpful work for the Christian that desires to see his life be more like Jesus Christ through living out the Bible’s truth.
