Richard Baxter (1615–1691) was an English Puritan church leader and theologian. His ministry at Kidderminster transformed a neglected parish town, and though ejected in 1662 he remained one of Nonconformity's most influential voices, writing well over a hundred books. Our library holds The Reformed Pastor — his classic on the minister's work — A Call to the Unconverted, The Saints' Everlasting Rest, and his extensive Practical Works.

Richard Baxter's urgent appeal to those who are still outside Christ, first published in 1658. Baxter reasons closely and tenderly with the unconverted, answering their excuses, exposing the danger of delay, and pressing them to turn to God today. Few books represent Puritan evangelism better: direct, scriptural, and pleading, it was written to be put into any reader's hands.
