LIVING ZEALOUSLY
By Joel R. Beeke & James A. La Belle
Reformation Heritage Books. 137 pages. £10.99
ISBN 978 1 601 781 796

This little book warms the heart and refreshes the soul. It is part of a series, Deepen your Christian life, taking themes from Puritan writings and re-presenting them in contemporary language for today’s reader. Study questions are included after each chapter.

What is zeal? One Puritan defines it as ‘the boiling up of the affections to the greatest heat’. It is ‘the vigour and ardency of the renewed, consecrated soul ... the effervescence of inward grace’. Laodicean lukewarmness is to be condemned. True zeal is marked by love for God, devotion to good works and submission to Scripture.
