The Life of God in the Soul of Man by Henry Scougal

The book instrumental in George Whitefield’s conversion The Life of God in the Soul of Man (1677), was originally written as a private letter to a ‘dear’ friend, to explain Christianity. It was never intended for publication. Yet it has become a classic Puritan text and one of the most read and influential treatises ever written for the comfort of God’s saints.
