Reseña del editor:

"The greatest difficulty is to keep the heart with God", so writes Flavel in his classic work on union and fellowship with God. In his comprehensive and helpful book Flavel looks at what 'Keeping the Heart' means, why we should take commission seriously and particular times when we need to be especially wary of being distacted from our goal. He then shows how we can develop a greater ability in keeping our hearts in tune with God. His advice is timeless, sensitive and profound.. His writings are known for their practical nature.

Biografía del autor:

Flavel was born at Bromsgrove in Wordesterchire. He was the elder son of Richard Flavel, described in contemporary records as "a painful and eminent minister." After receiving his early education, partly at home and partly at the grammar-schools of Bromsgrove and Haslar, he entered University College, Oxford. Soon after taking orders in 1650 he obtained a curacy at Diptford, Devon, and on the death of the vicar he was appointed to succeed him. From Diptford he removed in 1656 to Dartmouth. He was ejected from his living by the passing of the Act of Uniformity in 1662, but continued to preach and administer the sacraments privately till the Five Mile Act of 1665, when he retired to Slapton, 5 miles away. He then lived for a time in London, but returned to Dartmouth, where he labored till his death in 1691. He was married four times. He was a vigorous and voluminous writer, and not without a play of fine fancy. His principal works are his Navigation Spiritualized (1671); The Fountain of Life, in forty-two Sermons (1672); The Method of Grace (1680); Pneumatologia, a Treatise on the Soul of Man (1698); A Token for Mourners; Husbandry Spiritualized (1699).
