Worldly Saints: The Puritans as They Really Were by Leland Ryken

5.0

This book not only debunks a lot of myths about the Puritans, but also is very inspiring in seeing how our fore-runners ran and fought the race that we also have to endure, and how we can follow after their example. Ironically, one of the things I appreciated most about the book was that Ryken did include a chapter listing all the shortcomings of the Puritans. As much as I love the Puritans, it is crucial to seeing how they erred so that we can avoid falling into the same trap. So I really appreciated the fact that Ryken went into this.

4.5-5 stars.
