tracyjacks 's review for:
The Life of God in the Soul of Man
by Henry Scougal
Because of the wisdom contained in Scougal’s letter and its influence on great men such as George Whitefield, I’m inclined to give four stars. I particularly appreciated Scougal’s vigorous appeal to mortify the flesh, as we rarely hear such advice given so heartily today. Yet, as J. I. Packer points out in the introduction, this advice could be mistaken for “fake it til you make it" (p. 13). Scougal does caution that we must first “own our allegiance to that infinite Majesty” and aim towards having hearts “inflamed with divine love” (p. 115-116), but perhaps more exposition on how could be valuable.
Overall, I found the book helpful but not life changing. Thus, three stars.
