Thomas Watson was one of the most famous Puritan preachers in history, and his 17th-century writings are still read across the world today. A highly influential example of Puritan writing, The Great Gain of Godliness is Watson's study of Malachi 3:16-18. British Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon bemoaned the fact that he couldn't find a copy of The Great Gain of Godliness.

Whether you are new to the faith or are hoping to refresh a faith grown stale, Simply Following Jesus is your guide to a straightforward, action-oriented experience of Christianity.

A collection of sermons on Romans, this impactful work provides biblical clarity to the oft asked question: Why do bad things happen to good people?
