The topic of this book-the assurance of salvation-is one of the most important aspects of Christian life. This assurance-or knowledge that you are a child of God-brings joy to worship and prayer. It also gives strength and boldness to witnessing. There is no greater privilege.

The truth of this privilege is wonderfully brought home by this timeless book, Heaven on Earth. First published in 1654, this Christian classic teaches what true assurance is as well as how readers can experience it more fully. In its pages, author Thomas Brooks manages (in both a pastoral and biblical way) to cover pretty much every angle on the topic of Christian assurance.

Over the years, Brooks' writings have been admired by many-including the great preacher, Charles H. Spurgeon, who wrote that Brooks "scatters stars with both his hands." Though written more than three centuries ago, this book remains extremely relevant-and greatly needed-in the present spiritual climate.
