Self-examination
Publisher Description
For the good of our immortal souls, we offer the latest FGB, Self-examination. Puritan Thomas Watson helpfully introduces the subject to us. Charles Spurgeon then exhorts us to examine ourselves and gives a useful analysis of the word examine. Wilhemus à Brakel urges us to go even further and examine our faith. With great wisdom and insight, J. C. Ryle warns about his (and our) age of spiritual danger. Arthur Pink shows us that the Scriptures call us to this holy exercise, and Octavius Winslow asks us to dig deep, as we answer his question, “Are you alive or dead?” The Lord’s Supper is always a crucial time to examine our hearts, and Jonathan Edwards helps us to understand who should come to the Table and who should not. Thomas Wilcox gives us some penetrating questions by which we may examine our profession of Christ, and Charles Spurgeon asks yet another pointed question: “Does Christ dwell in you?” Finally, Ryle closes with brief but powerful applications of where to begin and how to proceed with self-examination. Hear those men: they are skilled physicians of the soul.

Essential Book for every Christian
This topic is so important but very much neglected in modern day Christians. This book of wisdom from saints in the past is a treasure and so helpful in this loving action toward our Savior Jesus Christ, to examine ourselves because we love Him and want to be like Him! The exhortations in this book are incredible!
