The Saints Everlasting Rest; or A Treatise of the Blessed State of the Saints in their enjoyment of God in Glory, was originally published in 1650. Written by the 17th century theologian during a time of great illness and looming death, Baxter wrote about the fear of death, the existence of sin and suffering, as well as God's divine grace.
