THE REDEEMERS TEARS

Description

Although written in 1684 and in the style of the day, this classic volume will be of interest to all who recognize the imperative of winning souls for Christ.

“The Redeemer’s Tears Wept over Lost Souls, this moving book, first printed in 1683, contains Howe’s essay on Luke 19:41-42, telling how Jesus wept over Jerusalem because the city didn’t recognize what belonged to peace in its day. It begins with a long exposition on the great gospel truths that “belong to men’s peace.” It then focuses on the short “day” we have in this life, which will decide our eternal destiny. It admonishes readers to flee to the willing, yearning Savior. This is Howe’s most searching and compelling book for wooing a sinner to Christ. He stresses the responsibility of man within the framework of divine sovereignty. It makes for a compelling read. We are grateful to Solid Ground Christian Books for bringing it back into print this century.” – Joel Beeke

Here is a fine biblical exposition of Luke 19:41,42 (Jesus weeping over Jerusalem), with appropriate application that is as suitable today as when Howe wrote it. The first part portrays the Savior as He looked down upon Jerusalem – a stirring scene filled with divine pathos. Then follows a series of explanations and admonitions, all breathing a compassionate anxiety to win the lost for Christ.
