Samuel Rutherford and His Friends - Newly Formatted

A man may be known by the company he keeps. Here,
Faith Cook introduces us to Samuel Rutherford's friends,
who are called on to give us a fresh look at the man who
has long been held in such high affection by Christian
people around the world.
The days in which Samuel Rutherford (c. I600-I66I)
lived were ones in which 'a man must sin or suffer', and
most of Rutherford's friends chose the latter course. Two
were martyred, two exiled and all paid a high price for
allegiance to the truth.

The primary aim of these short biographies is to cast
light on Rutherford's genius as a faithful counsellor and
spiritual guide. We are introduced to the depth and
beauty of his Letters and brought to share in the wisdom
and consolation of his pastoral ministry.
