About Moses' Self-Denial
Product Description Reflecting on Hebrews 11:24 25, Jeremiah Burroughs ponders how Moses relinquished his noble and comfortable rights as the son of Pharaoh s daughter to find greater honor as a suffering son of Abraham. Burroughs explains how Christians are called to deny all honors, privileges, and delights for the sake of Christ. He also shows how God is especially honored when we forgo selfish desires at a time when they seem most advantageous to us. You will benefit greatly to see how faith acts to transform losses caused by self-denial into true honor. This is an insightful, practical book a helpful antidote for our natural selfishness. Review Every new believer, upon first reading the Gospels, is gripped by Jesus' stark calls for self-denial. Yet self-denial, biblically framed, is not mere asceticism; it is an exchange of our sin-riddled wills for a higher, better, and purer will. Jeremiah Burroughs has served us well through this book by providing a needed corrective for a church tempted to value pleasures, honors, and wealth more than Christ. He asks, 'What is my honor...my life, so long as God may be glorified?' He adds, 'If God's honor is not precious in my eyes, what makes me think my honor will be precious in His?' Burroughs points us to the source of true delight, God Himself. I am pleased to heartily recommend this book, praying that it will challenge your soul as it has mine. --Phillip Simpson, author of A Life of Gospel Peace: A Biography of Jeremiah BurroughsReader, if you would have two heavens-to live in heaven on earth and go to heaven at death-study this book of self-denial. --William Greenhill (1598-1671), Puritan minister and friend of Jeremiah Burroughs About the Author Jeremiah Burroughs was loved for his preaching and gentle spirit and was persecuted for his nonconformity to the Church of England. Feeling compelled to flee to Holland for a time, he eventually returned to England and preached to congregations in Stepney and Cripplegate in London, two of the largest congregations in England. He also served as a member of the Westminster Assembly until his death in 1646.
